Audacity Forum

Thanks.

"Copy uncompressed files into the project (safer)" was already selected, so the question on import is asked anymore.

I am making copies of the files myself, but that gets annoying fast.

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to open (or import for that matter) a simple .wav file. The file sits on our NAS and I access it through a link. Nothing special. Strange that it works for my colleague and for you, but not for me.

When I try to open a file that's actually a link, created with ln, Audacity fails to recognise it. Other application are fine.
A co-worker even has no problems with this in Audacity.
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and Audacity 2.3.2
