I installed via Synaptic in Ubuntu 8.10, and I am also using an AMD64. My import dialog matches the screenshot provided. I was unable to drag and drop audio files from Nautilus to the import dialog.
I am able, however, to drag and drop directly onto the Ardour multitrack interface without opening the import dialog. This converts and copies the audio file into the project folder. So, embedding is not possible while this bug is not resolved. One other problem I had was that the audio file is stored on an external USB hard disk, and when attempting to import via the method detailed above I am given the error message: [ERROR]: Import: cannot open input soundfile "/media/SimpleDrive/Record/flute.16.09.2008/TRK1-0`" The name of the audio file is "TRK1-02.wav", whereas in the error message it is described as "TRK1-0`". Copying the file onto the internal hard disk before attempting to import solves the problem in this case. Ardour will import just fine when the file is on an internal disk, but not when it is on my external USB hard disk. I'll keep watching this thread for any updates. Thanks!
