robertgray3 wroteIs this maybe a Windows vs Mac thing? Either that or you all are doing something I’m not. I just renamed a handful of songs where audio was recorded and it renamed the folder too. These are not new songs either.

It might be along such lines. Not sure. frank.crow has experienced this and he's using a Mac Mini (late 2014), but it's worth watching for. I haven't observed all platforms, dates, or versions, but it's a good question. Let's eye that going forward.

The one date that I pulled up in the FR was from 2016 which I at least thought may be helpful.

I also believe we are all hands on deck about renaming within Studio One, and not via Windows or Mac OS. Anyone mentioning name changing in the OS is outside the issue.

Just in passing, and clarification to the thread. Anyone recommending the save to new folder is a work around, and it's been mine as well (For years). However, that process is useful when collecting all audio clips that are used in the current song open, and relocating with a new name. That works, is great, tidy, and practical. However it doesn't address the sudden issue of when audio files are added to the particular open song, and the folder loses the rename structure. A user might want to rename, and it's folder for traceability, while keeping possible files not completed such as comped tracks. Audio files and that new audio folder should not disrupt that.

It might be when the first audio folder is created within the song? I suspect so, or as mentioned, close.

Also, let's stay clear of minimizing or suggesting one song per folder. I believe it was Tacman7's point during a default folder or template where things can get dicey anyway. This issue is occuring even when following the baseline naming of a song even from song creation withing the Studio One\Songs\xxxxx.song path. That should keep us all on equal ground during checking/testing. Hope that makes sense. My spell check may have converted this to Swahilli

*I name songs 20 to 40 times with a updated suffix, for every song I've ever done, including Pro Tools. It's fundamental instruction even from any legitimate audio schools, and is not part of the issue. I can rename a song 30 times over, and the parent folder renames as well. Add audio tracks, save, so knowing what the latest song file is or lost files shouldn't be an issue. I've never come across one multiple song file issue. If someone is building numerous songs out of the same song, or template, good luck.

(interesting if closing, then opening a song vs immediately renaming causes a problem).

Good discussion from all here. This needs to be addressed
