midi files not showing up in Quick start

[Jan van Schalkwyk]

or do I need to configure something to make it work.
Most of my projects are midi only.
This works in Cakewalk by Bandlab

Cheers

This should be an easy fix? @Noel Borthwick

We'll look into it. Technically MIDI files are not "projects"

@Jan van Schalkwyk how are you saving them? Only files with the CWP Cakewalk project file extension show. If you save as MIDIO- 0 or 1 they will not appear.

At least in CbB, normal (cwp), template (cwt), cakewalk (wrk), bundle (bun), riff (rmi) and MIDI (mid) files all show in QS.

I agree Noel. Technically you are right BUT
It always worked in several previous incarnations of Cakewalk. Even in CbB.
To some of us midi has always been a "project" 😀
It would make me extremely happy if this is fixed

I have more than 1900 .mid files. I don't think I will be saving them soon as there would be no benefit.
I think a midi only file should appear. It always has before?

I don't generally use the quick start screen, but I checked some of the recent files I have opened and they do include a few *.mid files.  Out of curiosity, does the current quick start screen also include *.wrk files? 

ADDENDUM: I answered my own question re: *.wrk files: yes. (FWIW: date/time/length error reported via in-app form.)

typo fixed; ADDENDUM added re *.wrk files

IWT as long as backward compatibility is baked in, all older formats should show.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but when you installed Sonar, did you use the custom install, and if so, when it asked you which file extensions to associate with Sonar, did you include ".mid"?

Yes. It is associated with midi files. Midi files do show up in File Menu under recent files but not i Quick Start

Solved for next release.
