Title: Soundshaper cannot find the wav file when dragging and dropping
Post by: undergroundsurface on March 20, 2015, 05:40:54 PM

I've installed Soundshaper on Windows 7 (64-bit). But there are a many bugs with this program.
Soundshaper gives the same error message, when dragging and dropping any wav file:

Cannot find File: C:\cdpr7\_cdp\SoundshaperLite2.4\Temp\~A_0.wav

Is there a way to fix this? I haven't deleted any files in the folder temp folder of Soundshaper.
Previously, everything worked well enough.

Sorry for the delay in replying.  I've now been able to set up Soundshaper Lite on a Windows 64-bit machine, and have had no problems with drag+drop.

I suspect the error message may be a default one which is really saying: "I don't know where your TEMP folder is".
Please check Options | Settings and check that you have designated a folder as the TEMP and that this folder actually exists. I would recommend having TEMP as a subfolder of CDPR7, not of SoundshaperLite, though I can't see that it would make any difference where it is, as long as there are no gaps in the Path.

I've also installed Lite on my 64-bit Win8.1 laptop, and again, there have been no problems with drag+drop.
