Hi,
My sampler app has Non Session Mangement implemented but is currently

still referring to external files by their original path.
I want to use the symlink method as discussed fairly extensively here

but I'd like to know if there is any recommended strategy for naming

the symlink of a sample.
It could so happen that as far as the filesystem is concerned the only

discerning uniqueness between two samples is in the path (ie

kit1/snare1.wav and kit2/snare1.wav).
I've come up with three possible solutions to this (in my current order

of preference):
1) symlink-to-sample created in a subdir named using a hash* of the

full path to external file
2) painstakingly re-create the full path within the session dir and add

the symlink into that.
3) some horrible text manipulation of the full path (ie replace / with

_) that is bound to fail.
* J. Liles mentioned SHA1 here:

Are there other/better options or disagreements about (1) being a good

choice over the other options I've presented?
cheers,

james.
