Changes to Wrong File when Switching Tasks in Quick Recorder (89997)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Sound System 1.0
This article was previously published under Q89997

SUMMARY

If you are using the Quick Recorder Compression dialog box, and you switch to the OLE application, play the sound object, and switch back to Quick Recorder, Quick Recorder saves any compression changes in the OLE sound object instead of the file open in Quick Recorder.

This problem only occurs when you are in the Quick Recorder Compression dialog box and you switch to, and back from, an OLE client application.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Run Quick Recorder.
  2. Open a .WAV file.
  3. From the Options menu, choose Compression.
  4. Open an OLE client that has an embedded sound object.
  5. Open the sound object in the OLE client.
  6. Switch the focus back to Quick Recorder (the compression dialog box should still be active).
  7. Change the compression.
  8. Choose the OK button.
  9. Close Quick Recorder.
Quick Recorder indicates that the embedded sound object has changed and asks if you want to save the changes. This is incorrect because you attempted to change the compression for the file loaded in Quick Recorder, but the changes were made to the embedded sound object.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows Sound System Quick Recorder version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
