Hey there #LinuxAudio #Pipewire #ProAudio #Production peeps. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get #qpwgraph to hold on to the names I give my hardware interface ports please? I can rename them ok, but when I close #Reaper they just go back to &#39;Capture_AUX0&#39; (etc). I&#39;ve saved the patchbay but when I reload Reaper they stay default. Confident that this is user error as this seems like basic functionality, just not sure where to look (is it something to do with &#39;exclusive&#39;?)

I narrowed it down to the qpwgraph.conf file in /.config/rncbc.org/ backed that up and with a combination of editing stuff, quitting #qpwgraph and restarting it again I can see my edits now being written to the file and they seem to be sticking. Seems a bit odd to have to quit the app to make it write the edits to the file, but if it's working I'll not complain too loudly about a little ghost in the machine.

@thechildofroth I'm not completely sure this is a user error. There is a lot of things going on behind the scenes, from what you see in qpwgraph. I would suggest you reach out to the maintainer, and ask if this is related to qpwgraph, the jack api (Reaper uses pipewire-jack), wireplumper or pipewire. Yep, there is a lot going on :D There is an e-mail on the Github: https://github.com/rncbc/qpwgraph You can also check the Issues tab to see if others have experienced the same issue.
