File manager error in Ardour

Post by paul »

Hey. Ardour 4.2 here. I've noticed that if I open an Ardour file by double click in its folder, if the folder name contains a space, Ardour drops whatever is after the space (and so it does not find anything), like a very old file manager. I guess some quotes are missing somewhere in the code...can someone reproduce, so we can file a bug report?

Do you encounter this while browsing for files to import in a session? If so have you checked the chooser under the file-list to the right? The default search pattern is "MIDI-files" so folders, that do not have such files look like empty... ;-)

No, no, I had open a project folder with my usual file manager (Dolphin), then double-clicked on the .ardour file.
