| Summary | 0004148: Cannot import .mid files without copying them to session | ||||
| Description | As described in summary. Applies to drag and drop operations as well as from the import dialog. | ||||
| Additional Information | Perhaps it's not a bad idea to default to always copying .mid files to session since they are so tiny. If so, maybe an additional copy option could be added to the preferences dialog to differentiate from audio files? | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

|
To clarify, Current behavior is: "Always copy imported files" in Preferences dialog OR "Copy files to session" in Import dialog MUST be checked in order to import .mid files |
|
|
It seems like it might be sensible to disallow embedding of MIDI files, since they can be changed by Ardour (unlike sound files). |
|
|
I think it is sensible to write a copy to session for that reason, but it might be possible to only copy an embedded file when it is added to a playlist? ie: you could embed a folder full of .mids to the editor list, drag and drop to playlists as needed, then when you do cleanup you are only removing unused links. At any rate, there needs to be a way to differentiate the "always copy" behavior between midi and audio data. As it is I have to enter the menu and select it for working with .mids and then remember to go back and turn it off before I work with audio clips. |

MIDI files are forced to be copied on import in SVN 12774; if you feel strongly that there should be an option for the not-yet-added-to-the-playlist case, feel free to file a feature request. Thanks! |
