The current workaround (which for some reason temporarily seemed not work): Add files as new tracks at play head and manually move the inserted regions up using middle-click and drag; then delete the obsolete tracks. The 2nd workaround to insert multiple files as sequence to a single polyphonic track and split the regions to multiple mono-tracks via context menu afterwards should work as of Ardour 6.0-89-g4c5ad08e81 (see: https://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=8228). Could not test it yet, though. |

IMPORTANT UPDATE to the bug report: After first realizing today a similar apparent oddity in the order of tracks (regions?) in the FFT-Analysis window (see screenshot), on further inspection, I believe to have narrowed down the bug, which also makes it far less severe than first thought: Apparently, Ardour respects the order in which the tracks (regions) were selected, so that file1 is put into the track selected first, file2 into the track selected 2nd etc. (This is irrespective of the order in which the files were selected, i.e. the order of file-names is (correctly) determined by intelligent/humanized alpha-numeric sorting.). This works perfectly when using ctrl+click and selecting one track after the other, and therefore is certainly a (useful) feature and not a bug. The bug is just that apparently, when selecting several tracks at once, the resulting internal "order" of selection is undefined/random. This happens when selecting a group of tracks by clicking on one track in a group, as well as when selecting a range of tracks using click and then shift+click on the last track in the range. I hope this helps in narrowing down the problem. And it would probably make sense to solve it generally, i.e. e.g. also for FFT-Analysis, but there are probably more occasions where selection order is respected. My naive guess would be that one needs some consistent fallback strategy to determine the selection order in the case of selecting multiple tracks/regions/... at once, e.g. the visual order of tracks in the editor window or (in other situations) alpha-numeric order. In any case, it would probably be useful (and maybe even an interim solution, if the real solution is more complicated) to have some tool-tip or similar note in the import window informing the user of the feature that the clicking-sequence determines the file-track mapping.
