| Summary | 0010328: Pretty names in recorder view (Rec) for audio and midi inputs are not restored after a new start of ardour (Linux) | ||||
| Description | The pretty names for audio and midi inputs in the recorder view (Rec) are not restored after a new start of ardour. The names are correctly stored in ~/.config/ardour9/port_metadata but not restored after a program restart. This seems to be a problem only with Linux (I am using Ubuntu Studio 26.04 LTS with pipewire-jack). After a program start always the very long default names appear, which are almost unreadable and make a effective workflow difficult. | ||||

To be precise: the pretty names are only lost if the system (PC) is rebootet, not after a new start of ardour without system reboot. So all your pretty names are lost when you want to continue your work the next day for example. And there is no possibility to reload them, although they are correctly stored in the XML configuration file. |

|
When you use JACK (or pipewire). It's JACK that is responsible for the names. Internal backend (e.g. Ardour/ALSA) save/restore the names, but when using external audio-engiene ardour is not in control of that. |

Thanks! Did not know that it is possible to change the names in qjackctl. This solves my problem! |

Changing the pretty names in qjackctl solves the problem. |
