On importing audio files into audio montages, the Import Files dialog allows you to choose to create a copy of the original audio file in the audio montage folder or one of its subfolders, and whether or not to save this choice for future imports.

Import Files Dialog
Copy Files to the Audio Montage Folder

Creates a duplicate of the audio files and saves them in the audio montage folder. Activated by default, the option ensures that the source files remain unchanged in the audio montage; that is, they are unaffected by any editing in the Audio Editor.

Optionally, the Destination Subfolder menu allows you to choose a subfolder of the audio montage folder as the location for the duplicate of the audio file. You can use “/” to specify the folder hierarchy.

Note
  • If you deactivate Copy Files to the Audio Montage Folder, you can still add the source file or a copy of it to the audio montage folder or one of its subfolders at a later point in time, using the Audio Montage Consolidation feature.

  • If you add a previously imported audio file to the same audio montage again, the Import Files dialog does not appear.

Keep the Option and Do Not Ask Again

To save your current Copy File to the Audio Montage Folder setting for further import operations, activate For the Active Audio Montage or For All Future Audio Montages.

As a result, the dialog does not open again, when importing further audio files into the active audio montage or when importing audio files into any future audio montage, respectively.

Note
To reset this option, activate Show Copy Option Dialog When Importing Files on the All Audio Montages panel or the Active Audio Montage panel the of the Preferences for audio montages.Option in the Preferences for Audio Montages
