Importing Audio by double clicking a clip defaults to Add
I've searched and not been able to find anything on this but apologies if I missed it somewhere.
Just upgraded to PT 10 and in the import audio window when I double click a clip to import it only "Add"s the clip by default. I never, ever want to add a clip, I always want to convert. Is there a way to make it default to convert when I double click? This would clean up my workflow a lot. I went into the preferences and checked the boxes for "Automatically Copy Files on Import" and "Convert Copied Files to Session Format" but still when I double click it only "add"s the file instead of converting it. Thanks in advance for any light that can be shed on this for me. _R |

Re: Importing Audio by double clicking a clip defaults to Add
IIRC, if no conversion is needed, the clip is just added. Others who are more knowledgeable will probably correct me.
And even if you have checked the Preference for "Always Copy", whenever you're given the chance to copy, always do so, just in case. Cheers,

Re: Importing Audio by double clicking a clip defaults to Add
Thanks for your response but my issue is that I simply want it to ALWAYS copy no matter what. I have no use for the "add" button. So in that case, I want to be able to double click the clip and have it copy by default instead of add.

Re: Importing Audio by double clicking a clip defaults to Add
One thing I can clarify is that I want it to either COPY or CONVERT but never ADD when I double click. It used to be this way in 9 and previous but now it isn't and it's added a lot of time to my workflow.

Quote:
"The Automatically Copy Files on Import preference does not affect the Import Audio command." (Thats a pain for me.) So I either drag from finder/exporer or have a red warning flag waving in my head (copy!) when using the import audio menu.

Re: Importing Audio by double clicking a clip defaults to Add
I'm getting used to it but it's still adding tons of time to my workflow to not be able to double click audio clips. Pretty disappointed in this change.

Re: Importing Audio by double clicking a clip defaults to Add
While in the Import Audio window, you can use Command + C to perform the copy/convert option. As an added bonus, you can use Command + W instead of clicking "Done" and in the resulting import options dialog, you can use Command + R for the Region/Clip List option and Command + T for the new track option (Command + up/down arrows will switch between the location options).
