Batch export doesn't work with network drives

I am using SL 11 pro with the latest patch. SL is able to process source files that are on network attached storage, but if I set the export folder to a location on a network drive, I get “Select One Layer”, which makes no sense. If I select my local Documents folder, it works as expected. Network drives should be supported. But at minimum, the message should say “Export to network drive not allowed.”

@cparmerlee I tried to repro here in the same conditions (unmix song, source and target folder on a network drive), but it works fine here.
PS: a Mixdown export of an Unmix operation will result in a null operation (original->unmix->mixdown).

Thanks for looking into it. I believe I got different results when going to a network drive versus a local drive.

What settings should I use if I want to batch unmix a song and then export all the resulting layers?

Change the Export setting to Layers instead of Mixdown.

OK. I was able to get that to work, but I still get the “Select one layer” dialog immediately after I press the “Apply” button in the modules chain. If I dismiss that dialog, then I can proceed. This is confusing.
