Track Folder Problems

Post by kurtblake »

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Whenever I delete a track folder, empty of or full, DP locks up and spins. I am forced to restart the program. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem? Thanks!

I'm having this same issue.. Can delete tracks, but not the folder. Tried loading chunk in a fresh session, new prefs, no luck.

Weird.. Maybe something in my template.. Am in the process of updating my template and now I can't even DRAG an existing folder to a different location without it beachballing. Tracks are fine, not folders.

I have seen this several times and EVERY TIME is was user error. Not carefully selecting the proper choice in the dropdown.

I'm not saying that you guys are having the same issue, but again, I have seen it quite a few times and it is ALWAYS user error.

I'm usually adding track folders and seldom delete them.
I use several in my projects and just for test purposes, tried a couple of track folder deletes.

In each case, the folder went away with no ill effects.

In each case, the folder came back with undo.

No crash, no problem.

This is on DP10.11/OS10.14.6
Wishing you a solution for your system.
Keep us posted.
All is well

Most times folders work fine for me, but they do get stupid and start behaving unreliably at times, seemingly randomly.
