Preset manager uses absolute paths? -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Preset manager uses absolute paths? Posted by: GomezRa Date:9/5/2002 7:12:30 PM I recently purchased Sound Forge 6.0, and was experimenting with the Preset Manager. Our studio has several PCs running Sound Forge and Vegas. When I created some packages and transferred them, I noticed that when I played the sound in Vegas, my Acoustic Mirror plug-in said in flashing red letters "Impulse Not Found". Well, I checked, and it looked like all the settings were copied over correctly. What happened though is that I installed Sound Forge on the C:\ drive on the source computer, whereas it is installed on the D:\ drive on the target computer. It appears to have stored the absolute path to the impulse file in the preset package, and therefore gave me the error. I reselected the impulse from the right location on the target computer, and voila! It works. It sure would be nice if the impulses were stored in packages via some sort of relative path. I'm guessing that the way the settings are stored (with absolute paths) that caused this problem. Anyone else have this problem?
