[Rosegarden-user] Audio File Location Issue

2022-01-27 Thread Ted Felix
  To solve the audio file location issue (i.e. why is everything always 
just dumped in ~/rosegarden), I was thinking we could have a dialog pop 
up when saving with audio files for the first time.  It would ask where 
you would like the audio files saved and provide the following options:


- To an "audio" directory where the document is saved.  (./audio)
  (Recommended.)  (default)

- To a directory named after the document in the directory where the
  document is saved.  (./document name)

- To the same directory where the document is saved.  (.)

- To a central audio file repository. (~/rosegarden-audio)

  It might also have a "go with this from now on" option to avoid 
showing the dialog ever again.


  I think this (along with switching to 
"~/.local/share/rosegarden/audio" for audio files before saving) would 
satisfy all the issues described in the bugs and feature requests 
related to audio paths:


https://sourceforge.net/p/rosegarden/bugs/1283/
https://sourceforge.net/p/rosegarden/feature-requests/494/
https://sourceforge.net/p/rosegarden/feature-requests/495/

  Any objections before I dig into this?  The pop-up at save time is 
the most annoying thing, but you really only need to configure it for 
your preferred way of working once and that will be the default from 
then on.


Ted.
