| Summary | 0002502: Auto-generated track numbers are wrong after track creation failed | ||||
| Description | this is totally trivial, but i thought you might be interested. ardour gets automatic track numbering wrong when a prior track creation failed. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | start jack with a very low port maximum (128). create a ssion with a 9-channel master bus (yeah, 2nd order ambisonics). add 20 tracks. track creation fails with a very nice "no ports" message. disconnect from jack. restart jack with port maximum 1024. reconnect ardour to jack. try to create the tracks again. they are now named "track 21" to "40". | ||||

woops. looks like i didn't see the true nature of the bug. it seems that internally, the first set of tracks was indeed created, but you don't get to see it. i just realized that after shutting down ardour and restarting it. now the session has all the tracks from both the first and the second try. |

ok, after some more testing, the bug is this: when you create a set of tracks and it fails because not enough jack ports are available, it looks like the action failed. internally, however, it seems the tracks are being created, because they crop up after ardour is next restarted. suggested behaviour is to either roll back the track creation completely, or display the newly created "ghost" tracks greyed out or something, so that the user sees they are there but not usable. i'd prefer the first option. |

Hi, I've just been trying this out, but when I try to create a track with insufficient JACK ports available I just get the message "No more JACK ports are available... " and all seems ok. Do you see this message? |
|
|
yes, i see that message. the interesting thing happens when you create, say, just one more track after that (and it succeeds because a few jack ports are left). it is now called "track N+1", where N is the number of tracks you failed to create before. |
