Did a search, but results were overwhelming, so sorry if this has been covered...
I have some DP8 tracks that were edited in one session that I wish to transfer to another. I highlighted a track and all of its regions and copied that selection to a clippings window. I then opened another DP8 session and dragged the clipping into the tracks overview window. The resulting track contained a few of the regions from the original session, but they were nonsense as far as their order.
Is there a way do this kind of track transfer? I resorted to merging the audio in the first session and transferring that file via clippings to the second session, but I would like to retain all the edit information in the second session. Both sessions reside in the same project folder, as do the audio files. Is this a known bug? Is there a work-around or other method of doing this? Thanks for any help.

Re: DP8 clippings-track transfer between sessions?
Are you making time-range selections?
Drag over the top of the TO window to make a TR selection, and unselect the tracks that you don't want in your clipping.
Then, select the clipping where you want everything else saved from the Edit menú. That should work...
That technique works fine here with DP9.

Re: DP8 clippings-track transfer between sessions?
Yes, definitely did a time-range selection. Highlighted the entire track and copied it to clippings. When I dragged the clipping into the other session I got garbage. Start times are the same, frame and sample rates are the same. I think it's a bug. I haven't checked if I have the latest version of DP8 though, so maybe I'll check that when I get home tonight.
