This sounds exactly like what happens on the Mac in that case. IIRC when I had three copies of an original AIFF it gave all 3 as choices. I got the impression that after moving files from their original locations, logic starting up, and operation of the 'flip menu' for instruments became a *lot* slower on my G3-400. Would you agree with that? Its just a gut feeling really! I guess the .exs file only stores the orignal location of the file. I suspect that if emagic could write a utility to update the .exs files entries as to where the files live after being moved it would speed start up for me immensely.
