Summary0002522: Confused by inexistent project container directory
DescriptionStart up Ardour, and in the "New Session" tab of the opening dialog write something like "dir/project", where "dir" does not exist, then push Enter.
On the console some errors are logged:

loading bindings from /etc/ardour2/mnemonic-us.bindings
Loading session /home/wferi/dir/project using snapshot dir/project (2)
raptor error - XML I/O error: No such file or directory
raptor error - XML I/O error: No such file or directory
Loading history from '/home/wferi/dir/dir/project.history'.
raptor error - XML I/O error: No such file or directory
raptor error - XML I/O error: No such file or directory

and the log windows comes up with

[ERROR]: state could not be saved to /home/wferi/dir/dir/project.tmp
[ERROR]: state could not be saved to /home/wferi/dir/dir/project.tmp

but a session is opened and Ardour is somewhat functional. But it's deeply confused and as turns out it created "dir" and tried to handle it as a project directory:

$ ls dir
analysis dead_sounds export instant.xml interchange peaks

Instead of all this struggle it should simply refuse to open a session saying that its parent directory does not exist.
TagsNo tags attached.
