Import Audio Is Not Copying Files To My Audio Folder

[zwatrif]

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with the Import Audio function in Pro Tools 10.3.3. I've checked the "Automatically Copy Files on Import" box in preferences and Pro Tools is still not saving my wav files to the project audio folder. Plus - In the Import Audio dialog box, I don't see a 'copy' button. I see an 'add' button, but not a 'copy' button. I'm including a screenshot of my Import Audio dialog box. Why is there no 'copy' button? Any help would be appreciated.



Windows 7 SP1
Pro Tools Native 10.3.3

Anyone? When I use the import audio function in Pro Tools, shouldn't the audio files automatically get saved in the project audio folder?

I don't recall there ever being a "copy" button, and yes, having the "automatically copy files on import" SHOULD do it....

Yes! This is pissing me off , i import audio then i open session in other studio on other computer and the imported audio is the only one missing, always!! Wtf?? Avid?

Check to make sure every track is being allocated to the same root media folder:

Pro Tools > Setup > Disk Allocation > Root Media Folder

Having a lot of issues here with 12.8.2

it just refuses to copy the audio file to the project folder, and indeed the option is ticked.

If i use workspace it copies thankfully, so it's a work around of sorts..

Checked root folder, it's correct..

have no idea what is going on.. all i do know is that PT is referencing the original files in their original location when the command shift I is used to import (which i really actually like to use, I am old school).

It gets weirder... there is a group of files that it refuses to import interleaved.. it imports as 2 unlinked mono files even though it clearly says they are stereo files and i have interleaved for my settings!
It's also importing them with dead center pan, both of them.
I really should take a video of this so y'all don't think I am nuts.

Many files it imports fine, but there is this one group it just refuses to import as a stereo interleaved file.

Want weirder again? If i don't use the import window but drag them from desktop, it imports them correctly as a stereo interleave, the very same files!

I am so confused right now.
