According to the docs I should be able to choose between archive formats. But I get only one choice: ardour-session-archive.
Shouldn’t there be alternatives like tar.gz and zip?
I see the same thing. I tried to tar the resulting .ardour-session-archive outside of Ardour and the size of the .tar.gz was the same as the archive. Same with .zip compression. I suspect the archive tool automatically applies all the compression that is needed/possible.
And The Zip/Archive Current Session tool is located in the File > Archive… menu.
should be changed to Session > Archive , unless it’s called “File” on Windows and/or Mac
No problem, it just took me 1.5 seconds to find out what kind of file .ardour-session-archive is☺.
Turning the dropdown into a label is fine. But I would suggest documenting somewhere that the archive format is an LZMA compressed tar archive.
