Hi Paul,

Actually, the name of the loaded instance is "LASS Vcl". "[Cello]" is the name of the first instrument that is loaded. If you look at the other pictures I uploaded, you'll see the timing of what happens.

1. I click the plus button to add an instance
2. I choose "Open Project..."
3. Then, as the project loads, the new instance tab changes to the proper color and name while the instance is loading.
4. Then, once it's loaded, the tab reverts back to the default color and name.

The data is in there. It's reading it. It's even showing it briefly. It's just not keeping it.

Thanks for the reply, Paul. I'm not certain from your reply, however, if you were saying the name and color ARE supposed to be saved or are NOT. I'll attach a couple of pics to show you what's happening while the project is loading and after it loads. Seems to me the name and color data are there. It's just not being preserved once the instance loads.

Well that's not really the point. However, having to change the name and color on a large project with dozens of instances is time consuming. When I'm able to use an existing server project, it's no problem. But often I'm having to create a custom set of instances for a project and having to edit the names and colors is simply frustrating. And because there are so many instances, color is extremely helpful to find things to make adjustments.

The odd thing is while the instance is loading, the name and color appear. They just revert back once the instance is loaded. That leads me to believe the intention was for the name and color to copy over from the saved settings.

I'm hoping there is a fix for this.

No answer to this since August?!? Wow. I'm having the same problem. When I load a saved instance, the name and tab color appear as the instance is loading, but reverts back to "Untitled" and gray. How do I fix this?
