Re: [FR] -- Re: [Avid-L2] MXF Folder Numbering Question

A super trick, Job.

So finished project media could be segregated to numbered folders, then renamed with the archived project name?

Does it need the same directory path, or can it be moved to another drive, (such as an external) and still remain "online"?

Great way to access stock footage, music and countdown leaders.

Now that right there is a nifty little trick.

Actually, you can use text, but only AFTER MC has indexed that subfolder. When it has text, it won't write to it, not (re)build databases for it. But if the database is built, you can rename the subfolder and MC will see it and read media from it.

Yep, they can be numbered anything you like.
IIRC, you can not use any letters or characters though.

Feature Request:
In some cases I'd like to have the ability to use a dash or an underscore.
Allowing text would be a nice addition too.
