I don't think we should drop support for existing projects if we can avoid it. Do you?

I do not believe this has anything to do with a unitary project file format - I believe that even a unitary project file should be able to have linked (dependent) audio and that the dependency checks would still be necessary. -1 I think the major benefit of a unitary project format it that it provi...

it has nothing to do with dirty or clean Actually it does ;) but you're right that it has nothing to do with whether the imported file has been changed. "Dirty" / "Clean" in this context refer to the "project". A "clean" project is one that has no "histo...
