Transferring a ton of songs off a 24 year old Fostex HD recorder for an artists estate. PT’s batch rename is a godsend to keep things moving. BUT! A distraction caused me to paste a sentence with breaks and returns into the track name replace field and it took it! Then proved nearly impossible to get it out. Clear didn’t work. Here’s where I gripe about PT’s tiny visible name field. Some version of hovering (i think?) was the only way I could see the returns in the name, so there’s no way to accurately enter what’s there in the replace dialog (because whatever condensing process removes the breaks in the result). Renaming 24 tracks individually by hitting delete on a full highlighted field (with no apparent text, but, highlighted) fixed it once. Then 2 songs later the return breaks popped up again with the same bad entry I’d already cleared and moved on from!? That part feels like a bug. The manual offers no solutions, it seems like there’d be an absolute nuke option but PT won’t take a blank entry as a track title. Each attempt at entering a replacement in the batch dialog added more unwanted characters to the string and didn’t remove anything. Frequently kicked back an error message that the desired name was already in use.
How would you most easily fix this?
