Summary0009854: Ace Fluid Synth - Shows different path when track is duplicated
DescriptionSimilar to the following request I made about making tracks duplicate exactly the same as the original
https://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=9829
this post is more specifically about Ace Fluid Synth plugin duplicated tracks.

If you have a MIDI track with Ace Fluid Synth loaded as the instrument,
when you load a soundfont,
and then click on the open soundfont button again to open the file picker dialog,
it shows the actual folder location where that soundfont is located.
Which is expected.

However if you duplicate this track,
then instead of showing the true path location of the soundfont,
instead it shows the path to the Ardour project, where the soundfont is linked to.
Which is not desired.

If this is possible, would any one be willing to make it show the true path like the original track does, rather then the location of the shortcut link file in the projects save location path?

Thank You

I am uncertain, but I think that LV2 plugins can and do copy certain files that are used within the plugin. It stores it in the project folder so it is always available, even when the project is moved to a different machine.

Since the soundfont is stored in the directory, that would be the location of the soundfont file, and why it is giving you that directory.

You can verify by checking the project directory.
