[LAD] samples/symlinks/sessions

Hi, My sampler app has Non Session Mangement implemented but is currently still referring to external files by their original path. I want to use the symlink method as discussed fairly extensively here but I'd like to know if there is any recommended strategy for naming the symlink of a sample. It could so happen that as far as the filesystem is concerned the only discerning uniqueness between two samples is in the path (ie kit1/snare1.wav and kit2/snare1.wav). I've come up with three possible solutions to this (in my current order of preference): 1) symlink-to-sample created in a subdir named using a hash* of the full path to external file 2) painstakingly re-create the full path within the session dir and add the symlink into that. 3) some horrible text manipulation of the full path (ie replace / with _) that is bound to fail. * J. Liles mentioned SHA1 here: http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lad/2012/3/30/189343 Are there other/better options or disagreements about (1) being a good choice over the other options I've presented? cheers, james.
