qtractor version 0.4.2.1401, as found a few days ago on cvs, is by all

means the same as tagged release 0.4.3. trust me ;)

agreed, a better file/resource management is long todo list :)
the way qtractor refers to media content files (audio or midi) is somewhat

loose. so to speak.
as you might already figured out, files are referred by their paths. like

so-called "links" in other daws. so when you edit one midi file in one

session you're possibly changing the content of the file that is referred

from any other session, provided it is the same physical file (same file

path name).
while the midi clip editor tries to implement some kind of copy-on-write

for midi files, by incrementing a number/version suffix, that only occurs

on midi files that have been just imported into new clips, previously

recorded or revised clips will get their files unconditionally replaced

with editors content when you press save.
if, for instance, the given file path/name, is referred by two different

session/project files, you guess it right, any changes made to the clip

file will get reflected on both sessions. obvious, no? ;)
