Yes yes yes.  This is the worst "feature" of QTractor.  I don't give a
$%^& what the filename of an individual clip is, and I don't want to
be interrupted to think about where on disk the file should be stored.
 Stash it in a per-session directory, or a "clip library" or whatever.
 Don't make me think about that mess I call my home directory.

DISCLAIMER: I haven't used qtractor in a while; I assume it still
works this way.  If not, someone tell me to shut up.
