Bad wav filenames in .med file #1102

Open drautzburg opened 2 years ago

drautzburg commented 2 years ago

Some audio parts are empty when a project is saved and reloaded. These parts seem to have no file associated, according to File Info ....

I have a disc mounted under /terra and most of my music stuff in under /terra/music. I also have a symlink /music -> /terra/music. I examined the .med file for a part that came up empty and saw <file>/terraTRACK_Ac_Guitar2_TAKE_4.wav</file>.

There is no such file. A fully qualified path would be /terra/music/<project>/TRACK_Ac_Guitar2_TAKE_4.wav, but the file is in the project directory anyways, so TRACK_Ac_Guitar2_TAKE_4.wav should suffice, and indeed it does. When I changed the filename, the parts no longer comes up empty.

Strange enough, this does not always happen, but I don't yet know what it depends on. I suspect the current directory when MusE is launched plays a role.

@drautzburg OK. I tested some possibilities. Add block from capture, load audio clip (both from menu and drag&drop), drag&drop symlinked file. Really, when I call File Info, full path is present. I looked with text editor .med file and noticed that when file is in the same directory as project, in <name> </name> is only filename. When file is in other directory than .med, path is always absolute. Path is absolute too, when file is in children directory eg. <Project Directory>/audios/audio.wav (med file is in ).

@terminator356 Fixing paths to always relative, when dir is subdirectory in project directory would be reasonable?

I noted a strange double slash:

/> ls -ld music
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 24. Apr 2018  music -> /terra/music//

I had set the "Global Project folder" to /musc i.e. the symlink. Now changed it to /terra/music and haven't encountered the problem in the last recording session. Could that explain things?

I'm seeing the same, also related to a symlink in the path to the file. In my case -

/home is a symlink to /media/DATA/home (DATA is a separate disk)

The MusE project directories are in /home/user/Muse

A specific project is in /home/user/Muse/project

It has some audio files in /home/user/Muse/project/OddVoices that I used for generating singing using OddVoices.

In the project.med file those audio files often end up being /media/DATAOddVoices/audia.wav which doesn't exist.
