Summary0001369: Ardour2 beta 8 on OSX crashes when session reaches more than 20 tracks
DescriptionWhen I try to add more than 20 tracks to ardour 2 beta 8 it crashes imideatly. It doesn´t make any diffrence if I add new audio tracks to a blank session, or if I add Audio Files. I use a stereo master, and auto input connection.

Another thing is, that it seems that the track information is stored imideatly. I lost my actual recording session, because I wanted to add some files to a track, and acidently chose "add audio as new track". Ardour crashed, and I can´t open the project anymore. Thats why I miss a "save as ..." button very much!

To get my lost session back, I tried to remove the additional track entries with a text editor. It didn´t work, but I got an error log which said:

programming error: unknown region type passed to session::add-region()

I don´t know if I caused this by manipulating the session file or if it belongs to the more than 20 tracks problem. Maybe it´s possible to make ardour more robust against opening wrong session files.

there should always be a backup version of your session file (foo.ardour.bak) that is created whenever we rewrite the session file. in addition, in the latest version of ardour (in the SVN repository), we never overwrite the session file itself unless we successfully wrote a new version to a hidden file first.

I can't duplicate this with beta9 on OSX 10.4.

I couldn´t test it with beta 9, since I couldn´t manage to compile it on my mac yet. I will test it, as soon as the .dmg is availible or I get it to run ...

Anyway, I renamed the . bak file of the broken session to .bak.ardour, so that it was possible to open it, but ardour still crashed. So I think, the wrong track count is in this file, too.

I don´t know, if that hapens only to the mac version. maybe I´ll try it on ubuntu, if I have time during the christmas holiday. My problem with linux is, that my audio hardware isen't supported...
