So now on import I have predictable names (with no wasted characters on prefix numbers), predictable order, and slot-preset connection retained. Then I batch renamed the files to have a numbered prefix, 001 to xxx, in the order I wanted them. To have all the numbered prefixes dumped upon import, so as to have longer, more descriptive names, I used a metadata program (such as TagScan) to copy the filename (without the numbered prefix) to the Title metadata tag.
On Windows 10, the built in file explorer doesn't seem to have this problem. Also, the file manager I was using, xyplorer, seems to mess the order up, when dragging and dropping. I finally found out that IRs with a Title metadata tag were the ones with the prefix being dumped. I tried using the filename numbering scheme after this discovery, and while it sort of works, I was getting some files where the number prefix was being dumped, and others weren't. One of my lead tones was using a couple of incorrect IRs.
I decided to take a look and somewhere along the way I made a mistake because of this.
Do you then have to edit each preset that references an IR that is now further down the imported new alphabetical list? What do you do when you add an IR to the set/folder? Presumably it's name places it somewhere other than the end of the alphabetical list.
