a "Komposition content is missing" - There it is feature!

Hello Resol's,

there is a essential feature i'm missing.

for example:
I create a new komposition with 200 clips. These clips are located in these folders>>
C:\footage\Gigs2011\GrooveParty_april\category\Basics (50 cips)
C:\footage\Gigs2011\GrooveParty_april\category\Ambient (30 clips)
C:\footage\Gigs2011\GrooveParty_april\category\Misc (120 clips)

After saveing my komposition containing all clips with clippositions, fxparam and so on I decide that 100 clips wich are located in the "Misc"-folder aren't Misc...so I create a new folder named "Slow" and transfere these 100 clips into it.

Now, when I load my komposition next time 100 clips are missing in my decks.

Would be great if Resolume says when loading a komposition with missing content:
"100 Clips of komposition xy are missing /Enter search location/ /ignore/"


Best regards
Cosmowe

I heard about something like this in version 4. For now you could edit the composition xml file (users/resolume avenue 3/compositions/) with a texteditor and replace the path with the search & replace function. That what i did when i had this problem.

hey,

yes I allready checked out this workaround. But search an replace only works when every clip in one folder changed his location on harddrive. In my case only some clips of one folder canged there location. So I have to edit every clip location in the komposition file manually.

Or skip the replace for the clips that haven't moved, and just find next.

But having said that, there is definitely need for improvement here, and Res4 will have new features in this area.
