Folder project

Post by Cooller89 »

Hello, Carl and others =)
In earlier versions, when choosing a project folder, you did not need to search for this folder again when adding files, you immediately found yourself in this folder when adding. How can it be returned?

I guess this might need to be a preference. There was a request to make the "add files" picker remember where you were when you last opened it, which seems reasonable, but I suppose it depends on how you arrange things.

1 project - 1 folder.
when creating a new project in folder 2, when adding files, I find myself back in folder 1 ((

I think some people want their content in some folder P but have projects in Q so it's a bit annoying if they keep having to find P.

I think you need to make some kind of configuration so that you can choose where you will find yourself when adding media - in the project folder or in some of your own folder

Seems that way, I made a note in the bug tracker.

Carl, hi, I see in the update description that you can choose where to open a folder with files, but I didn't find such a parameter anywhere in the program.

Hi, it should be in the "general" tab of preferences, under "Default add file location"

Just wanted to pop in here and say that I logged onto the forum to ask for this very feature (hadn't updated DOM yet), and was so glad to see it added.

Thank you Carl for your great engagement with your application's community and your continued work on this essential piece of software!
