Paste file names into save dialogues

Post by tribalogical » Fri Nov 17, 2017 6:27 am

I'm working with individual clips, and when exporting an edited clip I want to paste a file name into the save dialogue (rather than typing it in manually), but Live doesn't allow that. I'm working with a very large number of audio files that can also have long and complex names, so manual entry can be unnecessarily difficult. I want to copy names from a file list, and then paste that into the save dialogue, but it doesn't work.

It also seems to be the case for saving a Set as well. No paste functionality in the save dialogues? This works just fine everywhere else in MacOS... e.g. I can paste into a save dialogue in say, Text Edit, with no issue.

Please make it possible to paste file names into the save dialogues. Thank you!

(hmmm, is this a bug report, or a feature request?)

peace.
