· Drag and Drop Mishap I bought a couple of CD's at Friday's symphony concert, ripped them to FLAC, and saved them off on the Mac's music and photos disk. Then I tried to add them to roon by drag and drop to the MacOS controller. I'm not quite what I selected. I had intended the first Gershwin and somehow managed to hand off a good bit more.
Drag and drop had been well behaved in the past. This was the first addition after migrating to MacOS 26 Tahoe. Finder's UI was redesigned and not for the better.
Perhaps it would be nice to build and display a copy queue in a verification dialog so mishaps hardly happen. Anyway 26000 copies were queued and there's no way to kill them -- maybe Vulcan nerve pinch the ROCK or pull its plug. And is ROCK going to deduplicate the library?

· UniFi wired Ethernet, UniFi switches and router. Roon Core is ROCK running on a System76 Meerkat. Controller running on MacOS Tahoe. Mac has external USB storage for music and photos. Rock has external USB storage for library and database.
Given the recent changes in macOS 26 Tahoe and the Finder UI, drag-and-drop behavior can be unreliable for large copy operations. If a very large number of files has been queued, we recommend:
Restarting the Roon apps (both the macOS controller and the ROCK Core) to stop the current operation.
For future transfers, avoid drag and drop for large batches of files.
For reliability and better control, we strongly recommend copying music to ROCK over the network via SMB instead of drag and drop. Please follow this guide:
ROCK will handle duplicate detection during import, so once the copy is done cleanly, your library will not end up with duplicated albums.
This approach should prevent similar issues going forward.
