| Summary | 0008470: Source list contains duplicates when audio is dragged into the editor versus using the import dialog | ||||
| Description | See discussion here: https://discourse.ardour.org/t/expected-source-list-behavior/104961 Summary pretty much says it all. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Drag audio into Ardour and duplicate sources appear in the source list. Using import dialog doesn't exhibit this behavior. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

this happens when dragging a sound onto an existing track, it does not happen when dragging into an empty space (which creates a new track) having just bought Mixbus I see the problem is exactly the same there (I guess this is not a surprise) |
|
|
...then I tried again on Mixbus just to check I hadn't been dreaming and it didn't show double copies, but then I clicked to view Regions, back to Source lists and hey presto - doubles are there after all (couldn't get this to happen in Ardour, or to happen again in Mixbus) |
|
|
seems to be fixed in Ardour 6.4 for me (OS X 10.15.7) |
|
|
The bad news is: I have no explanation why it was an issue, nor why it's now gone. Looking at the changelog, I don't see an explicit fix for this between 6.3 and 6.4. Maybe it only happens sometimes, or only for some files... |
|
|
Still happens on 6.4 here (Win). When I switch over to Linux I'll test there too. However, I can confirm AliMacD's finding that it doesn't add duplicates when you drag a file into empty space. |
|
|
it's back... I did a few more tests all starting with new, empty sessions (using the same folder of sounds I used for testing above in 6.3 and 6.4) and all was fine. No duplicates. Then I opened an existing session and the problem returned immediately. And now even with clean sessions I get doubles. |
|
|
related - I'd like to be able to drop files into the Source List instead of directly onto the timeline (though I'd be happy for both to co-exist). Drag & drop is really useful when bringing together audio from a number of different disks & folders into a new project. ...I wonder if fixing this might uncover the solution for the problem above. |
|
|
Also occurs when dragging directly from the source list (6.5/Linux). |
