| Summary | 0007900: Deleting .mid files from session directory tree causes segfault on next load | ||||
| Description | Deleting .mid files from session directory tree causes segfault on next load | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | in the session root of an ardour session with a midi track, delete *.mid from the directory tree. Try to load session in ardour. Seg fault. | ||||
| Additional Information | Ardour6.0.pre0.3409 (built using 6.0-pre0-3409-gd7fed7c52e and GCC version 9.2.1 20191008) Ubuntu 19.10 | ||||

What do you expect in this case? Should Ardour create empty MIDI regions in place (like silent audio-regions are created for missing audio)? For missing Audio files, Ardour shows a dialog and asks the user to locate the files. Audio is non-destructive and Ardour can reference external-files (which may be moved). MIDI however is always in Ardour's session-folder, since it's edited destructively no external files can be referenced. If a file is missing, there's almost no point in asking the user about it. I think the way forward is to re-create the missing files as empty .mid, and retain the regions. Then show an error dialog (not just a log message): "MIDI files were found missing: ... Ardour has replaced them file empty/silent MIDI data. If this is unexpected and you have backup files, you can manually copy them over, and re-start Ardour" |

You can use your best judgement on that. For my use case, I'd be ok with no regions, empty regions or even deleted tracks (but this seems extreme). All I care about is that the session is loadable (and loadable without having to click an "ok" through an error message), even when expected .mid files are gone. |

There will have to be an OK at some point. We're never going to sanction "oh, just ignore all missing files today, tomorrow and forever". |

Yeah I get that. I'm mostly concerned about the lua version. |

Fixed in 6.0-pre0-3417-g60a2406056 -- the warning (Missing Source Files) is shown in the GUI only. Headless/Lua will silently replace the MIDI with silence |
