Hello,

Also I have thought that there could be a base folder option. But what
happens if there should be two "basefolders" in a project? So if there
is a base folder option I would still want to give a possibility to
change the path in selected files. The basefolder would then be a
default option that would not restrict to import files from other
folders outside the basefolder.

But now I must begin to write that magic code...

Regards Timo M

Hello Timo,

I will copy your latest reply to Bug #454135

Please make any further comments regarding this on Bug #454135

I will add some details of how I manage my folder structures for
projects, which will help determine what project folder deifinitions are
needed in the Preferences.

This way we can build up a blueprint for this part of the Preferences.

Best wishes, Helen

An option is needed in Preferences for setting a base folder for the project.

This should set the default base folder for all subsequesnt imports and exports for that project.

Miquel's original request;
I have the necessity to change my video project to a different folder from the original one I was working for (from folder A to folder B).


After the move I suppose the links are not valid so the question: Is there a way to change the base folder of the picures, videos and music of a video project?

By the way I wonder why you didn't use xml for the project file format.


Tks
