Error message when renaming or saving

#1

Hi all,

I have an Ardour project that I can neither “rename” nor “save as”.

When I do “save as” I get an error message:
Save As failed: copying "/media/.../externals/DefaultScale.scl.4" failed!
(where I replaced “…” for the file path)

and when I do “rename” I get an error message:

save

How to resolve it?

EDIT
If I look for that file in the “externals” folder, I find this:

externals

I don’t know what these files are connected to and how to restore them…

Thank you,
a.

I don’t grok the meaning of the entries in the GUI snapshot. Can you show the output of the following command instead?

$ ls -laF /media/.../externals/

These are files from a Windows system?

Synced with OneDrive?

Cheers,

I have no idea what files they are… however I don’t use the Windows system and I don’t know OneDrive.

the files named like DefaultScale.scl.* may be files from sfizz (or akin) usage.

#7

sfizz always gives me problems, when I reopen a project, the tracks with the sfizz plugin lose the connection with the “.sfz” file, so very often I have to reselect it.
