Ah yes, that would make sense.  Thanks for letting us know.

I discovered the reason why VinylStudio opened with the wrong collection. It had nothing to do with VinylStudio! I have created a workspace with the applications and PowerToys uses a hardcoded path to open VinylStudio with a specific collection and there was the reason: it pointed to the wrong collection. I'm sorry to bother you with this, but maybe other users will do the same mistake as me, and then you know.

It stores it in the registry.  Specifically, it stores the name of the .mcf file representing your collection.

What behaviour are you seeing, exactly?

PS: The name of the current collection is displayed in the title bar, maybe that helps.

Well, it doesn't for me. How and where do you store the last used collection?

It does, last time I looked.  Maybe I have missed something in your message.

I have three collections that I alternate among when recording. For some reason the same collection opens after restarting Windows (not when restarting VinylStudio only). It is quite annoying when I constantly forget to open the right collection. It means that I have to go through the recordings to see which ones that I have to move to another collection.
Today I encountered another problem and that is the recording already existed in the target collection: and the move didn't succeed. It kept the target album which I am very pleased with.
So I want VinylStudio to open the last used collection every time I start the application, independent if I restart Windows or not.

Not sure, but those two fields are stored in the Registry if that helps with your detective work

It's a sub-folder of the folder containing your recordings, but don't worry about that - VinylStudio will regenerate those files as and when it needs them.

> Another question. Why do I have files in my Collection folder that are not an audio file or a CRD file that don't relate to my music file or CRD fil, but some do relate like "Dire".

IDK, but VinylStudio didn't put them there.  It's probably safe to delete them - VinylStudio certainly won't care.

OK, I got the Collection and Save Tracks moved into different folders.


Which folder does the "vsfiles" folder go?

I followed your steps 1 and 2, this restored all my changes to the album status.

But why did this all change when I only re-imaged the C-Drive?
