Hmm, I'm not sure I totally follow your description, but it may be  
that this is one of those "it's a feature, not a bug" things.  To  
whit, it was requested by a number of people that dragging a new  
sound onto a cue reset the times on it.

This would be a good opportunity to use the working directory, which  
would allow you move this show over with just a single change, and  
keep the old time settings.  Of course, a show can be built in a way  
that doesn't allow this (with sound files taken from all over the  
place) which is why I need to add an "collect/export" feature to make  
it easier to move a workspace from one computer to another....

I may have misunderstood your description of the problem though, in  
which case please correct me.  See below....

Actually, you managed to get in there three times.  :)  I'll close  
two as duplicates.  The Tracker seems to have some issues with  
stability, I'm afraid.  If I run it as a normal CGI it's fine, but  
really slow.  If I run it as an FCGI (fast CGI) it's fast, but  
periodically screwy.

I've restarted the Tracker so we can continue the discussion there.   
I'm also going to look into running a script every night to restart  
it, in an attempt to improve its reliability....

Here's the one still open:

Sorry for the trouble!
