Hi all,

I'm old and have some old Qlab habits that are trickier with the new versions, but I think are still useful.

When building shows I never do the auto file import, because everytime I do a fix if Qlab is just looking for a file name it will use updated files in my bounce folder while I work on the show. But that now requires doing a save  as with copy media/audio (which used to be export workspace) when I do need to export the show. But now Qlab copies the folder names so I get a show file that has multiple audio files which I find very annoying. I could do a workaround and copy all the audio into a new 'audio' folder in Qlab and then have Qlab look for the files in the new location. But far better, from my end, would be to have an option to toggle 'keep folder structures' so it could be toggled off and everything be copied into the default 'audio folder'.

What do you all think?
