| Summary | 0009890: "Click to add a new location" for files doesn't actually work (+ too long path names awkwardly wrap) | ||||
| Description | I've been experimenting with File Location changes, and getting some weird results: 1. "Click to add a new location" under Session > Properties > Location does basically nothing. It will appear to save the new path, but upon saving the session, quitting Ardour and reopening, Ardour will still not automatically find any of the files that are in the new directory given. 2. In Session > Properties > Locations, if the path name to a file is sufficiently long, it 'wraps' the text to multiple lines, each with their own "Remove" button (-see picture), which is confusing (and perhaps worse). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | For 1: Create Ardour session with linked (not copied) audio files; save and quit Ardour; move some or all linked files into another folder; open same session; click "Skip all missing files", then "Done"; go to Session > Properties > Locations > Click to add a new location, and add the path to your new folder where the files are; save and quit session; reopen Ardour; and it will still tell you "Ardour cannot find the audio file" such and such, even though the new folder you moved the files to is listed as a place where it supposedly checked. For 2: Create a directory for audio files that results in an 'absurdly long' path name, then import a file from there (without copying) into an Ardour project, and go to Session > Properties > Locations. | ||||
| Additional Information | I'm using macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 on a 2013 Mac Pro (trashcan) and Ardour 8.11.0. | ||||
