"bundle" issue

[FL K]

Hi again,

Just wanted to seek clarification of how different "bundling" and the file searching allocation has become V4>V5 (obviously, "bundling" in V5 has moved to a concept called "save project and media to a new project folder, but use the shorter term for convenience still)

Back in the day, bundling moved everything into the video and audio subfolders, which I found rather neat; in V5, it seems that if the content already seemed to reside in a subfolder of the original show folder, it would retain this structure - not my preference, but I guess I could see an argument for that.

What I struggle with is this scenario:

- I "bundle" a workspace that fits the description to a new location to re-gather all media in one place

- the aforementioned extra subfolders are created (along with audio and video)

- I quit QLab

- for neatness, I try to move all the files to the sub-folders audio and video

- now, from my understanding, QLab should be able to find these, as (and this is where I'd love clarification), I understand that it first looks in the explicit file location, but then, if it cannot find it there, would look in the standard places (i.e. in the audio and video subfolder)... except it does not and reports the files as broken. Apart from manually going through file by file, what can be done to fix this situation?

Thanks for letting me know :).

Cheers,

Freddy

Hi lovely folks at F53,

Just following up on this - could you clarify expected QL5 behaviour when a file is not at the explicit path (does it still automatically look in different places such as the QLab folder and/or subfolders)?

Cheers,
