Default Re: PT8 Renaming Audio Files in Browser?

to follow up....

it seems that this truncation thing was only happening with the audio files I had stored in one specific folder in my music library (so far). I'm still not sure why. But I'm also noticing some other re-naming anomalies that I can't explain. When I import audio from another folder in the same library, the filenames get replaced with Audio File and the track number which originally appeared in the filname I gave it. For instance, Drumloop 5 becomes Audio File 5...but again only in the Session...the original file is not renamed.

I've been racking my brain for what could be causing it. I've trashed prefs and such just to be sure. But it doesn't seem to have any pattern to the problem. It isn't a length of filename issue. It's not just files with numbers in the middle as I'd originally thought. The various anomalies happen to ALL audio files in any given folder, but not in every folder (so far I'm testing one hard drive specifically) on the drive.

Also of note is that these phenomena only happen when I'm dragging audio in from the Workspace. If I do a standard Import Audio the filename in the session is the same as the filename I gave it on the hard drive.

Thoughts? Anyone having any similar issues?

Thanks in advance
