Set Pool Record Folder

I do believe it should be expected at this point in time for any professional software to be able to create a new folder in it’s own browser window.

It can do that.

In the pool window, right-click on the folder that you wish to create the sub-folder in (except for video) and select “Create Folder” from the context menu.

It’s in the operation manual on page 308

I was referring to the dead-end “Set Pool Record Folder” function which should be able to create a folder rather than do nothing.

Cubase in some ways regards itself as a mini OS if it’s convenient to think of it that way which is why some things are sometimes arcane.
I’ve never seen anyone complain or have a deep and necessary need for these folders before so I’m wondering why it bothers you so much. I have managed without it for many years. If it’s any consolation I find Reaper has daunting details to my mind though it might suit you.
If the need is pressing maybe a search in the manual to see if there’s any explanation of what and why it does what it does will save you looking upset in this forum. You will either find that it’s way more useful or not worth using.

Cubase is a huge mass of detail accumulated over the years. It’s like an old attic at times. Everythings there but it’s easy to forget where and sometimes why.

DBAD= Don’t be a douche.

If you can’t figure out why someone would want to save their Cubase data into user defined folders ‪à la‬ every other successful computer program, then you should up and leave these forums because you are wasting everyone’s time with trolling sycophantic garbage. It’s like asking why someone would want to use protein in their food O_o

You know damn well if you have used any other professional program to produce anything (After Effects, Final Cut, Reason etc.) that these programs use the basic OS folder tree for their data architecture. The main reason is twofold:
A) the OS does it better
B) once you learn the basic folder mechanisms and workflow for one program, it does not have to be re-learned for each subsequent program.

Even if they do not let you view your data in the finder (Firefox bookmarks for instance) you can still create folders and subfolders to arrange your information.
Having an invisible 3rd party organize your information without customization is frustrating and sometimes insulting.

The absence of user definable folders for any data you create in a program is shortsighted and these days downright unprofessional.

Maybe you should have a peek at this thread like the other 18,000+ that have already:

Your statement is downright embarrassing.
