Thanks, Tony.

So I think that the original pull request is still a big "no". I closed the pull request after seeing the feedback on Github. I'm not looking to reopen it, at least not as it stands. I'm looking for a solution that fits with the goals of the project and community if that's possible. Thank...

The same objection remains as before - users delete their files after importing them. That is a significant part of the reason why we had to implement...

When Audacity supports unitary projects I don't think it should still create old style projects with an AUP file and _data folder. Nor do I think we should drop support for importing files without copy in, which would be a big regression. "I could import a three hour WAV file in 10 seconds but ...

It would seem to me that the logical/correct time to check dependencies is when the project is reopened and that this check should be automatic and, if a given link fails, the user should be offered the opportunity to find the missing file. I know that this is a paradigm shift and I would not remov...
