[Possible BUG] importing samples

It appears that there is a limit on the filenames when importing samples which can lead to similarly named samples being overwritten.

If I import a sample named bits_piece_1.wav it show after import as USR bits_piec.

If I then try to import a filename bits_piece_2, it prompts to overwrite as it already exists.

If I click ok, bits_piece_1 is replaced by _2 but still named bits_piec.

If this is by design, it’s a PITA as I will have to rename similarly named patches. If it’s supposed to support longer file names - it’s not.

I am on a mac Tahoe 26.6.2

Hi @Funtmaster and thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!

I’ve shared with the team, thanks for reporting!

just confirmed that it’s due to the 9 character limit in the sample name

So it’s by design? Can it be increased to something more useable? I am old enough to have used MSDOS with its 8.3 file name format. We have moved on since then.
