Linking or moving media

Post by rcpettit » 08 Aug 2022 00:32

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.

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.
