I still don;t seem to understand the Kyma saving regime. I have a number of sound files I am working on, and sometimes I open one to checkout some things, and maybe make a few changes I don't want to keep - so when closing the expanded sound I click 'NO' on the save changes option - then when I close the sound file, which includes some other sounds I haven;t touch or run, I click 'NO' to the Save dialog. When I do this, sometimes when I start Kyma, the sound is not there in the directory... aauuuggghhhh

I have taken to burning them to CD when they are there as a security measure so I can reload them onto the hard disk, but I just don't understand the reason this happens.

I only have one browser window open at a time, so there is nor confusion there - just me being confused - ehat am I doing wrong?

Do you think that you could give us a step-by-step description of a procedure that replicates this problem? That way we could look into it.

When clicking on one of the triangular arrows to close a Sound file or a folder, Kyma checks to see if it contains any changed items that need to be saved. However, it asks only for the group as a whole.

What may be happening is that you make changes to two different Sound files in the same folder, click on the triangular arrow to close the folder, answer No at the Save Changes dialog intending not to save the changes to one of the files but then losing the changes to the other file.

What I find is that the sound file dispeares all together. Indeed it has a couple of sounds in it, and I may make changes for test purposes in both of them, and not want to save the changes to either of them, so select 'no' when closing the file. Next time I open Kyma, the entire sound file is gone. I must say I haven;t watched what I do carefully, but this has happened to me twice in the last 6 weeks or so, and I thought I'd write in because that made me nervouse about loosing things I really don;t want to loose, and i thought maybe i was assuming a behaviour from the save diaog boxes that they were not programmes for? I'll try and replicate what makes this happen.
