Project settings can be changed via the File > Project > Settings menu entry, which
launches the following dialog:
If Copy (or Move, see “Saving as Project” section below) is set for audio files, sampler
instruments/samples the “copy” flag will be associated with that file type in the Project
settings.
Warning:
If a new project is closed without saving it, you will be asked if the created
files and folders should be deleted. Clicking on Delete will result in all files (including
any newly-recorded audio files) being moved to the trash—so take care!
Saving as Project
You can use the File > Save as Project function to save a song or project. If the open
song isn’t already a project, the saved song file is assigned “project” status. This allows
you to set the Project settings (File > Project > Settings) which determine how imported
files are handled. This also makes the project “safe”, allowing you to move or copy the
project folder without losing any file references that point to items within the folder.
In the Save As Project dialog you can choose, if the project files should be copied or
moved into the project folder.
The Sampler Instruments and Samples pull-down menu in the Save as Project dialog
features a Copy Instruments Only option which leaves the samples in their existing
location.
The Copy All button presets all pull-down menus to the Copy state.
The Move All button presets all pull-down menus to the Move state.
