Undo Button

[MartyM]

Hello.....I like to edit songs or soundbites from large podcasts, so I TRIM the beginning and end of my podcast, leaving only the selected file then Save File As and place it in it's chosen folder. In the past, after doing this, I would simply click on the UNDO button a couple of times then I'm back to my full podcast to choose another file to save. I purchased the latest edition of WavePad Sound Editor and I can no longer use the UNDO button after saving, it is dark. Can anyone help with this ? The UNDO button is active right up to the moment I SAVE my file. Thanks.

Hi Marty - just wondering if you ever found a work around for this issue, I've been frustrated by this as well.

Thanks, Kevin

Hi, 

It is actually by design since the file you are editing after "Save As" is a 'new' file.

You can reload the original file edit it differently since any changes to it was not saved.

Thanks Simon -

It's too bad, sometimes I have a big file that I trim into smaller .mp3's, but I'd like to be able to 'undo' after I save so that my edit point will be exactly the same. Oh well...

One work around is to Save your edits as a separate file instead of overwriting the original. That way, you  can always go back as needed. You could name your files as 'Edit1', 'Normalize1', Cut1', or something like that.

Thanks - I appreciate the help.

However - I think that is what I am doing, but as soon as I 'save as' it loads that new file and deletes the other one. Am I doing something wrong?
