Hi! New Export Queue is great, but I met something unpleasant; 1. Selected multiple tracks in Channel Selection list. 2. Selected one region in Export Range list. 3. Option “Conflicts” is set to “ **Always Ask** ” 4. Added to Queue. Result is that there wasn’t message with confirmation that some of filenames already exist and Cubase created files with new/unique names: filename-01.wav. I suppose even it’s queue job Cubase should create unique names only if “Conflicts” is set to “Create Unique File Name”. ---

Hi, This is by specification. already discussed here on the forum. ---

I better jump in here as I struggled with this as well because I didn’t realize you don’t HAVE to use the Export Queue. If you don’t, “Always Ask” works as it should. ---

Okay, if it is logic by specification, then no doubts it’s okay 🙂 So if I export some 20 stems I should choose Overwrite to have the output as it was previous export times. And, if I need some exports to hold I need them copied to another place. Sorry, I didn’t read specification on new features. A little busy on composing 🙂 ---

Hello @Martin.Jirsak could you please post the link about this specification? I would be interested to see some more details 🙂 ---

@Martin.Jirsak, maybe it would be better to have an option in Preferences - On Queue use the same logic and if specified “Ask…” for overwrite, don’t make unique names? Otherwise it’s a bit weird - left hand don’t know what right does 🙂 ---

So here it is > The current naming scheme is used for the exported audio files and the conflicts setting is automatically set to Create Unique File Name, that is, a number is added to each exported file. **Hmm, but why?** What is the reason to ignore settings already set in the same window for the same project? i miss here a logical explanation. After a huge amount of mixes and exports there will be total mismatch of 01, 02, 03, etc files. I get this yesterday and I really don’t like even it’s dry described or not. ---

Hi, How is your Naming Scheme set up, please? ---

It’s default - Name + Channel Number + Channel Name + Cycle Marker Name. But how it’s important? Names are unique in a project. Maybe it would be great to have a Mixdown folder different and specified for each queue? Let’s say we can choose project mixdown and write a little additional subfolder. But also in my opinion queues should respect settings as it is in non-queue export. ---

@Martin.Jirsak, sorry, I didn’t understood how it’s working. I can select Project Mixdown folder and then click on it and manage unique subfolder for current mix version. Then there won’t be any conflicts and I will be happy 🙂 But anyway I think queue feature should respect settings. Otherwise they should be greyed out/disabled.
