I can reproduce this as well. The re-import function doesn't seem to be as smart as the Adobe apps; it only appears to search within the same folder on the OS level. That being the case, a workaround would be to put all the images you want to re-import into the same folder on your OS. Desireable? No. But it works.On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 5:06 PM, film35hd@yahoo.com [Avid-L2] <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
This is usually not a big issue for one or a few files, but when you have 100, 500 or 1000 images, it become a major headache ...
We keep running into a problem when trying to batch re-import files that have been moved to a different location. You have the "set file location…" option, but even when I've selected all the files that need to be located and point to where the first one is, Avid only updates the location of the first file in the list. As I understand it, the function should work like Premiere/FCP where once it sees the file path of the first one it should update the location of all remaining files as long as the file names have not changed. At first I though this was an issue tied to the fact that ISIS drives disable spotlight search indexing, but I did a test where I moved some images I wanted to batch re-import to my computer's desktop and the issue persisted.
If a glitch or not intended to do what you'd think it should, is there a workaround? Again, these are not for AMA/LINKed clips, but re-batch importing clips that have already been imported previously.
Thank you in advance, L2 colleagues!
