Summary0002753: track templates: creation of multiple tracks in one go fails due to naming conflict.
Descriptionhere's the error:

[ERROR]: AudioEngine: cannot register port "2AMB mono channel/in 1": a port with the name "2AMB mono channel/in 1" already exists: check for duplicated track/bus names

easiest solution might be to give them default names like "Audio N" and use the default unique name generation method.
Steps To Reproducecreate a track template.
session->add tracks->from template (more than one)
TagsNo tags attached.

should be resolved in SVN rev 5322 (and 2.8.1). please confirm.

the original issue appears to be fixed, thanks.

there is a related issue however:
it would be highly desirable if route templates could include sends (standard usecase: reverb) or even inserts. these will still generate name clashes:
if the original track that was saved as a template contains a ">send1", ardour will try to create a new track with ">send1" also (same for inserts), which fails.

maybe just re-use the logic behind the "new send"/"new insert" button in the mixer strip context menu, which apparently traverses the list of all sends/inserts and automatically creates a new name of the form "[send|insert]N+1".

since the ardour-internal name for this feature seems to be route template, i'm adding this note for the benefit of the search index:
route template, route-template, route_template. :-D

another minor issue with route template generation: the color of the track is copied as well when using a custom template, which shouldn't happen by default.

The issue seems to be fixed in current SVN 3.0.
However, the template still tries to create sends with identical IDs, but then some sanity check intervenes and says:
[WARNING]: aux send ID 2 appears to be in use already

Then, the new track is created correctly with all sends, apparently with implicit ID corrections. I wonder what happens if the ID namespace is scattered with holes, but for now I'm marking this as resolved.

This issue has reappeared as of 3.0-185-g096fe04 (that's when I noticed it - might have happened several weeks or months earlier).
