| Summary | 0010258: Removing certain File Locations doesn't actually remove them. | ||||
| Description | Oftentimes I try to remove a File Location in the Session > Properties > Locations menu, and doing so has no effect. This is particularly annoying when a file/source (or multiple) is found by Ardour in *2+ different locations*, and thus it ALWAYS alerts me to this upon opening of the snapshot... --> And I have to click "Done" to like 20 popups saying "Please select the path that you want to get the file from" (-see picture). ... But, is this actually intended behavior? Because after all, the location/path/directory I'm trying to remove does in fact contain certain sources *actively used* in the session. Link to demo session: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/vmy6qly1o931gct/I_-_III_%2528Genabeth%2529_copy.zip/file | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Download and unzip the demo session. 2. Open "I - III (Genabeth) COPY.ardour". 3. Select 'Skip all missing files', plugins, etc... 4. Go to Session > Properties > Locations, and remove the one line/location you can. 5. Save the project and quit. 6. Reopen. 7. Go to Session > Properties > Locations again, and observe how the location was not actually removed from 'places to search'. 8. Repeat as many times as you want; -same result. | ||||
| Additional Information | What I would expect is that after I remove the location, save, quit, and reopen Ardour, Ardour would simply complain to me about "missing sources". Is that a fair expectation? Thanks for looking! : ) -J | ||||

Also, this is related to my very first bug post from a year ago: https://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=9890 : ) |
