On hold until 23 Oct 2024: Linking or moving media
I would like to see an option in preferences that allows you to pick to either link only or move to default location when drag and dropping media so you don't have to be constantly asked every time you add media.

Re: Linking or moving media
That is a nice idea but there are more than two options.
For example, when I add new media from a file the Copy File(s) to: drop-list options are:
<Don't copy - link only>
<Default Location within Project Folder> i.e. \Media\
Census i.e. \Media\Census\
Certificates i.e. \Media\Certificates\
Places i.e. \Media\Places\
etc, etc...
That is because my Media files are organised into sub-folders within the Project's Media folder.
It is not obvious how such options could be handled in Preferences.

I've put this 'On Hold' as the OP hasn't responded to Mike T's attempt to clarify the requirement.
