Summary0002527: Hardlinks audio files too early
DescriptionStart the "Add existing audio" dialog from the "Regions" tab. Select a wav file with a sample rate different to that of the session, say audiofile.wav. The mismatching sample rate is highligthed in brigt red, what's great! Click OK. A dialog pops up, saying

.../session/interchange/session/audiofiles/audiofile.wav
This audiofile's sample rate doesn't match the session sample rate!
                                       Cancel Embed it anyway

Don't choose anything, leave the dialog open, and look into interchange/session/audiofiles directory: indeed audiofile.wav is already linked there! And the link stays even if you choose Cancel. What's even worse: if you then remove and recreate audiofile.wav with a matching sample rate, this dialog keeps popping up, as Ardour checks the above hard link instead of the new file.

As of Ardour2 version 2.8 when you click on OK, instead of Cancel / Embed it anyway dialog coming up, the file is converted to the session appropriate sample rate. This issue seems to have been resolved between versions 2.7.1 and 2.8.

You misunderstood the bug report slightly, which is ok because it is a bit deeper than most users should have to deal with. At any rate the bug does still exist in 2.8 so I am going to update this.

OK Seablade, I can generate the issue by following these steps.

1. Open Ardour2 2.8 and create a new 44100 Hz session.
2. Clear the checkmark from Options->Misc Options->Always copy imported files.
3. Click on Session->Import and navigate to a 48000 Hz audio file and select it.
(At this point I see the bright red sample rate: 48000 Hz)
4. Clear the checkmark from Copy files to session
5. Click on OK.
(At this point I see the Ardour ? window which asks to "Cancel" or "Embed it anyway", and I can also see the hardlink exists in the ../session/interchange/session/audiofiles/ directory).
6. Click on Cancel, and the hardlink is retained.
