Yes, stupid thing: EXS does not accept filenames that are longer than 
(put the number here, I didn't want to figure out what it was 
exactly).

So just make a note of the name, rename it to a shorter one, convert 
it and then use a name that makes sense to you, that the EXS will 
still see.

Also, make sure you always have the .gig extension.

Cheers and good luck

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
