Storage Options

Menu Command: Options | Storage

Use Storage Options to choose file and storage folders and set undo levels.

Sound Folder
Specifies the folder to use when you start GoldWave. The File | Open command uses this folder initially. Use the Clear Recent File List button to remove the list of recently opened files under the File menu.

Temporary Storage
Specifies Hard Drive or RAM storage. When using hard drive storage, you can specify the folder to use when creating temporary files. This folder should be located on a large, local hard drive with plenty of free space. Changing this folder does not affect opened files already in temporary storage. Use RAM storage only when working with small files.

Undo levels specifies the number of times you can undo changes. A value of 5 means you can undo the five most recent changes performed on the file. A value of 0 means that you cannot undo any changes. Larger values use much more storage to store the previous audio data. When using the RAM storage option, this should be set to a small value. Otherwise RAM will be depleted quickly and system performance will degrade.

Cue Points Storage
Use the Automatically import and export separate cue file setting to automatically save or load cue points from a separate cue file when saving or opening a sound file. If you open a file named music.mp3 cue points will be imported from a music.cue file, if it exists. If you save a file named music.mp3, cue points are saved in a music.cue file. Warning: any existing file with that name will be overwritten! Cue files are not saved automatically for .wav, .wma, or other file types that store cue points. Use the Cue Points tool to save the cue file manually.
