Does "Automatically Copy Files on Import" work with Import Audio command?
 
I seem to remember this working flawlessly in v8, but now on 10.3.4 it seems that the Automatically Copy Files on Import preference doesn't have any effect on the Import Audio command (command+shift+I). It defaults to "add" every time, and I have to manually select "copy", where as in v8 I could just hit the return key every time I wanted to import (and copy) a file.

Does it not work this way anymore? Is the preference only for drag and drop now? God, I hope not...

Correct.

It does not work the same way it did in v8.

Yes. Search ideascale.protools.com to see if anyone else has logged this, and if not, log it as a bug.

I think this is logged as a bug. Now, every time I need to import any audio, I drop it in the session folder and import from there(unless its an empty session, where I will actually drop the audio into the Audio Files folder and import from there). Small PITA, but I hate the missing audio files dance:o

Grrr.... That's what I was afraid of. For what it's worth, I occasionally have a problem auditioning files from the "clips to import" window as well, although that one seems intermittent, so who knows. I'll take this over to ideascale. Thanks guys. ;)
