Whe I drag an ableton live set file from the browser to the session view, to open it in the current set, the stop buttons removed in the saved file re-appears...
Now I can't Drag'n'Drop .als no more because all the stop buttons settings in the session view are deleted...
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

Select all the clip slots that have their Stop button removed, right click and choose "Add Stop Button."

That's project-specific information that must be saved with a project as far as I know.

I just ran a test both in Live 6 and 8.1. Seems like dragging the set or a track from it to the Tracks Title Bar does carry over the deleted stop buttons, while dragging them in the Clip/Device Drop Area doesn't. Works the same on both versions.

Hello,

Good catch. The difference is subtle, but dragging a Live set over the clip area is like "just dragging these clips there", whereas dragging a Live set over the track header area is like "merge this Live set there", which includes the stop buttons.

Thanks for your help!
I've noticed this behavior only in Live 8.1, previously dragging a Live set on the clip area would include also the stop buttons (since Live 6)

Hello,

Ah sorry, I got confused. You're right, and I reported this as a bug. I'm not remembering any reason for changing that.

Ok Thanks!
Merry X-Mas!!!
