A window layout stores the sizes and positions of all windows and floating
window docks in the Sound Forge Pro workspace.
You can store any number of window layouts on your computer, and up
to ten window layouts are available in the View menu (and via keyboard
shortcuts) so you can quickly recall frequently used layouts. For example,
you could have a layout dedicated to disc-at-once CD creation and another
for ADR work.
TIP
Window layouts are saved in C:\Users\[user
name]\AppData\Roaming\BorisFX\Sound Forge Pro\2026.0\. You can transfer
layouts between computers by copying the .ForgeWindowLayout
files.
From the View menu, choose
Window Layouts,
and then choose Save
Layout As from the submenu. The Save Layout As dialog is displayed. Choose Save Layout
from the submenu if you want to update the current window layout. A bullet
() is displayed next
to the current layout.
In the Name
box, type the name you want to use to identify the layout. This name will
be used in the Organize Layouts dialog.
Choose a setting from the Shortcut drop-down list
to set the shortcut that will be used to load the layout. For example, if you choose 4, you could press Alt+Shift+D, release
the keys, and then press 4 on your keyboard to load the layout.
The Folder
box displays the path to the folder where the layout will be saved. Window layouts are saved to C:\Users\[user
name]\AppData\Roaming\BorisFX\Sound Forge Pro\2026.0\ by default.
You can click the Browse
button to choose a different folder.
From the View menu, choose Window
Layouts, and then choose the window layout you want to use from
the submenu.
TIP To load a layout quickly, press Alt+Shift+D,
release the keys, and then press a number on your keyboard (not the numeric
keypad) to recall the layout saved in that in that space. If no layout
is saved in that space, nothing will happen when you press the shortcut.
If you've modified the current window layout, choose Window Layouts, and
then choose Reload Selected
Layout from the submenu to reset the window layout to the last-saved
version.
