SD0 Files

SD0 Files

Prior to S_TOOLS-STx 3.0, all S_TOOLS-STx metadata was stored in so-called SD0 files - files with the extension 'sd0'. Each wave file opened in S_TOOLS-STx was associated with an SD0 file, (e.g. TheMarrageOfFigaro.wav was associate with TheMarrageOfFigaro.sd0 in the same directory). If the file existed, the metadata was imported into S_TOOLS-STx and saved on exiting (or explicit saving), otherwise, the file was created. It was possible to associate more that one SD0 file with a wave file by incrementing the number (e.g. TheMarrageOfFigaro.sd1, TheMarrageOfFigaro.sd2 etc). When migrating soundfiles, SD0 files had to be migrated too.

SD0 files since S_TOOLS-STx 3.0

The SD0 format has been replaced by a new metadata format stored using the XML format. Support for SD0 files has been reduced to SD0 import, if no corresponding XML metadata exists for this soundfile.

Note: SD0 files have been superseded by DataSet files.
