Hello, This is Ardour 1:2.8.14-1 (Linux Mint x86_64). I have now created three new sessions, and at first I thought I did somethign wrong, but now after creating another one I see that the specified directory I indicate for a new session in the opening dialog shown when Ardour starts was rightly chosen from the directory dialog box but still, the session was created in the home directory instead. A simple file-creation test in the specified directory is OK: % touch test % ll test -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 0 avr 6 08:27 test % mkdir Test drwxrwxr-x 2 user user 4096 avr 6 08:29 Test/ Is this a bug in that version of Ardour or is there something else ? Creation of new sessions like this has always worked in the past. Thanks.
