I apologize in advance for the cross-post, because I just posted this question in Vegas-Video and realized it really should be here instead.
I recently upgraded to SF8 from SF7. I use Vegas 5.0d, and I notice that it does not treat SF8 as "special," the way it did SF7. With SF7, if I had a longer audio clip that I trimmed on the timeline, and right-clicked on it, I could choose "Open in Sound Forge" and the whole audio clip would open in SF, but the trimmed portion would be selected and zoomed in to fill the screen automatically.
Now that I've switched to SF8, Vegas doesn't seem to recognize it as Sound Forge. I've pointed my "preferred audio editor" to forge80.exe but my right click now says "Open in Audio Editor" and it does not automatically select the right part of the clip, it just opens the whole thing and I am stuck finding the portion of audio I want to work on.
Has this issue come up before on the forum? Is there something I can do to make Vegas 5 recognize SF8 as Sound Forge? I tried uninstalling SF7, so it's not there anymore, and even reinstalling Vegas, in case it went looking for SF upon install. Nothing seems to work. I'm definitely pointing to the right file (forge80.exe), but Vegas doesn't seem to realize it's Sound Forge.
