These options add file locations that will be searched to find the audio and
midi files used by the session. This is useful when the files have been
imported into the session but not copied into the session.
</p>
<p>
To add a location, navigate to the directory where the files are stored.
Drill down into the directory and then click open. The directory will
show up in the dialog. The remove button next to the added directory can be used
to remove it from the search path.

<p>
This tab is used to change how Ardour names recorded regions.
If <dfn>Prefix track number</dfn> is selected a unique number will appear on each track
in the <dfn>Editor</dfn> window and will prefix the region name. If the track number
is 2 and the region would have been Gtr-1.1 with track number prefix turned on the region
will be named 2_Gtr-1.1 instead. See XX for base of the region name.
</p>
<p>
If <dfn>Prefix take name</dfn> is selected and the <dfn>Take name</dfn> has Take1 the region
will have the name Take1_Gtr-1.1 instead. If both boxes are checked the name will be
Take1_2_Gtr-1.1 instead.
</p>
<p>
When <dfn>Prefix take name</dfn> is enabled, the first time a track is recorded it will
have the specified take name. When recording is stopped, any trailing number on the
end of the take name will incremented by 1. If the track name specified doen't have
a number on the end, the number 1 will be suffixed.
