Import Sessions Data doesn't copy audio files
Mac Book Pro 2020 Big Sur 11.6.2 PT Studio 2022.6- importing session data from one session to another from different external HDs. The first time I forgot to select 'copy from source media' and had 'link' to files selected. I deleted the tracks and imported session data again and made sure to select the copy function. Imported the session data, saved the session and closed the session. Unmounted the external HD that I was importing from and relaunched the session with the imported data and PT cannot find the files! I did this another time just to ensure I wasn't missing something. Same deal- PT can't find the imported audio files. Work around is to import session data and then do a 'save copy in' and that included all the audio files. Anyone else have this issue?

Re: Import Sessions Data doesn't copy audio files
There is an option in Preferences to "Always Copy Files on Import"(or something very similar). Have you checked that?

Re: Import Sessions Data doesn't copy audio files
Is it possible that on the first import the Disk Allocation got set to the external drive instead of the desired location? First thing I'd check is Disk Allocation for the session. You can also Option-O to open a Session Browser and see where the session thinks the files should be - if they are in the wrong location you can always select all, then Copy or Move and Relink from that Session Browser window.

Re: Import Sessions Data doesn't copy audio files
I was not aware of that preference but now have it checked. Which means I never had it checked before and all the other times I have imported session data and included the audio files/clips and did the correct selection in the Import Session Data dialog box it worked before.
