[Bug 454135] Re: Base Project Folder pathway option for Preferences

 

Hello,

I wrote the code and it seems to work well. I'll send it now to the
hands of Jonathan - he may add it in the new version (hopefully?)

There is a new entry in the project files menu. Click it and a
filedialog pops up and then select a folder and press open. The path in
the names of selected project files are replaced with the new path - the
names of the files are not changed. No more problems of usb disks. This
was the easiest solution I think.

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
