FMOD Studio 1.03.00 under OSX doesn’t allow creating shortcuts from the shared assets source directory. If, on the OSX version, I open a project created with the Windows version and set my shared assets source directory correctly, all _existing_ shortcuts in the assets bin work fine. However, I am unable to add any new assets to the assets bin without it making copies of the audio files. Doesn’t seem to matter what I do. After I import the audio file I have to manually edit the .audiofile and replace $(AUDIO\_BIN\_DIR) with $(EXTERNAL\_AUDIO\_DIR) and clean up the rest of the path. This is a serious pain to workflow. Can I get a fix to this? ---

Thanks for the bug report. I have managed to reproduce this issue and I will be putting in a fix today and it should be available some time next week. ---
