Re-organized files not seen by Tools: Clean project directory
Noticed something today. I have a project with drums, bass, keys, and rhythm guitar audio files in it.
The project folder was getting huge so I decided to organize it from this:
<all the .wav files
.
.
.>
Project.rpp
Project.rpp.bak
to this:
Drums/
Keys/
Rhythm Guitar/
Bass Guitar/
Project.rpp
Project.rpp.bak
When I opened Reaper, I got the 'files not found' dialogue and had it search the project. Success, all files now loaded in the project and organized in the file system the way I wanted.
I then edited the MIDI for the keys and was happy with it, so I scrapped the audio files for the keys (they were temporary output from the keyboard so she could hear herself) in the project.
Normally, if I did clean project directory now, the keys files would show up. This time however, they did not, because I had moved them into new folders. Reaper doesn't seem to be checking the folders within the project folder for unused files.
If anyone can confirm I will make a bug report, also tonight I will try to upload two example projects showing the issue.
