Description

When I click on certain clips, what was displaying on the clip preview square changes to a different clip (it seems to default to about 6 different clips) and the clip changes to that. If I close and re-open Liberation it resets itself to the original clip, until I click it again. If I move, copy or edit the offending clip in any way it permanently saves over my old clip with the clip it changes to.
If I right-click and edit a problem clip without triggering it or touching it any other way, it will bring up my existing clip, and if I edit something and save that, it seems to stay (until close & re-open Liberation).
I have tried editing the clips as mentioned above to keep them from changing, then copying them to another clip slot, then deleting the offending/glitching clip, and this does not seem to correct it once I restart liberation.

Right-clicking in the clip deck and adding another row seems to make it worse. This all got worse recently when I went on a bit of a clip deck reorganizing spree that involved moving a lot of things around.

Steps to reproduce

Open Liberation, activate clip. Specific clips continue to cause this.
I believe relatedly, if I right click & add an empty row, sometimes the row will not populate empty but will populate with a couple of the clips that it seems to default to/overwrite to when this happens.

Hi @Enablers.inc thanks so much for the report. Could you zip up and send me your data folder please?

I have seen this error before and it can be caused when there are additional files in you data/clips folder, sometimes caused by dropbox conflicts or other cloud services.

I think I’ve fixed it in my current build but it would be great to test it with your files.

Thanks again!

Seb
