In order to do anything useful, most obviously archive, the SM needs the ability to change those paths. The only realistic way of achieving this is via links. Otherwise you would have to design a "move files" protocol, and in order to archive/move/etc you'd have to launch every app and use that protocol to manipulate the session state, because the SM doesn't know every program's file format. Not only is that a huge implementation burden on apps, it's clunky and fragile; a big silly mess to do what tar or a 10 line Python script could do. Not a realistic solution. -dr _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
