freeze overwrites previous files

if you freeze a track and then unfreeze and change something then freeze it again then the previous freeze render should be overwritten because it is no longer needed

or at least a dialog "do you want to delete the previous freeze file"

I think the problem is that you could be using the old clip in the arrangement view.

yes, but you can use frozen clips in any audio track not just the one they were frozen in.

that's not it - I'm talking about when you "unfreeze" - which means it reverts back to how it was before you froze it

so if you then change anything and freeze again it will create a new freeze

I'm saying there is never going to be a situation when you need the old when kept, and if there is you can drag the file from the freeze folder or copy it

just another reason to unneccessarily fill your hard drive

OK, you have a frozen track (A). Now you move a frozen clip from this track (A) into another audio track (B). Now unfreeze the original track (A) - the frozen clip in track B is unaffected. Modify the clip in track A and refreeze it - the clip in track B does not 'update' - you now have 2 different clips: 1 in track A and 1 in track B.

You can't simply delete the clip in track B when track A is refrozen because it is being used.

I agree with other FR's though that Live really needs more options and control over the linkage of clips so that modifications of a source clip spread to all linked-clip instances ('ghost'-clips)
