or better yet, NO, please don't do that! you're trying to open a midi file where an audio one is supposed to be: look! the dialog window title rightly says "Open Audio Files" so why do you expect it to work on a midi file anyway?
otoh. that's actually a bug in qtractor code path: even if a midi file cannot be imported into an audio clip, it is plain wrong to delete it. actually it is being deleted because the audio clip sees it as an empty audio file (of course, given that's a midi one, which obviously has zero audio samples in it). it is being deleted because, somehow, it assumes it's a recently recorded audio file which is empty.
this deceiving behavior will get fixed asap. however, don't try to reply with any invalid files (eg. midi) where audio files are explicitly being asked for ;)
thanks anyway
cheers
[UPDATE: fixed the non-audio file deletion horror, svn trunk rev.2625+ (aka. qtractor 0.5.1.45+); still, forcing midi files where audio files are requested is NOT a nice move :)]
now a get it, yes.
