[64studio-devel] [64 Studio] #262: Ardour projects with external sound files aren't portable

[qharley at wbs.co.za]

PS: I cannot check this now, but does Ardour have a "Clone project"
function?  This would then copy all files required into a new folder (even
one on USB) and transfer all references to the new files.  If not, we
should request this from the Ardour project. Nice feature to have.

This would insure full portability of a project, even if all files are
initially external.
