"File overview" error [message #69618]

Help! I got the dreaded error message that won't go away....

I am able to open up an earlier version of the project file (which doesn't
contain the last two hours of edits). I could just redo these edits, but
I'm afraid it may happen again.

I checked some old posts and saw one possible cause for the file overview
error could be duplicate filenames, and indeed I do have about a dozen, possibly
because for some reason I used several folders for the audio files, instead
of keeping all the audio files & project files in one folder.

My question is, should I rename/renumber these in the Finder (I'm on a Mac),
or is there a way to rename them within Paris? Will this then make them unrecognizable
by the project file?

Another possible solution posted was to throw away all the overview files--I
haven't yet tried this--could this result in disaster or tons of work to
get the project back to normal?

I guess that's more than one question--any advice on how to proceed would
be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dale

go into your songs audio folder and delete only the overviews and
relaunch paris and the song; paris will then redraw the overviews.
