Jack session and Qtractor: midi files are left in older versions of the session folder.
Hello.
Can someone please explain how to properly save a Jack session while using qtractor??
Here's what I'm doing:
1. Open qtractor + other apps and make connections with patchage.
2. In QJackCtl, save session, enable versioning and choose and empty dir: myJackSession/. A dialog comes up in qtractor (and hydrogen) asking where to save. I chose myJackSession/Qtractor
3. Play and record some midi and audio. Hit save in Qtractor. A dialog comes up asking where to save... ¿What should I choose Here? I tried myJackSession/Qtractor again.
4. Work and hit save in qtractor several more times, change connections in patchage, etc...
5. Save Jack session again.
6. Do something else away from computer :)
7. Load jack session. Qtractor comes up but the references to midi and audio files seem broken. The actual files are in myJackSession./Qtractor but the qtr file being open is at myJackSession/Qtractor.
So what should be the proper way to save?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious but I have tried different things and something weird keeps happening....
RV.
Re: Jack session and Qtractor
yay. which qtractor version?
iif qtractor is asking to save into a session filename of its own then, i guess you're probably using a way too old version of qtractor, even older then qjackctl's as jack-session manager altogether.
recent qtractor versions shouldn't ask for any session filename (.qt? suffix) when saving under a jack-session command context at all--UNLESS you're issuing a "Save and Quit" command and you have a scratch/untitled qtractor session going on--take note that this scenario is not exactly what you described, but ntl.
in either case, please never , i'll repeat NEVER tell qtractor to save its own session file onto the SAME location as ANY of the jack-session directories you've been dealing--instead, ignore or cancel the file requester dialog OR save that file somewhere else for your records ;)
cheers
