Solved - Output Bug Fresh Installation, Misleading Error Code

[18leaf]

Description
I was following the built in tutorials, and on Building a Thread, my output would not render (Errors: Only mono and stereo files are supported) even though the input was mono/stereo waveform. The issue was simply with the name of the default SoundThread folder (SoundThread_v0.3.0-beta_windows/ because I nested my input sounds into this directory). I wanted to post in case anyone else had this issue. Windows11 - error likely from CDP's unsupported file names (- and .).

Where my input/output files lived
C:\Apps\SoundThread_v0.3.0-beta_windows\Sounds\Input or Output

Easiest Fix
(A) Change name of folder to SoundThread, instead of default SoundThread_v0.3.0-beta_windows
C:\Apps\SoundThread\Sounds\Input
or
(B) Store input files outside of SoundThread's default folder
