Can somebody tell me what is a "nested project"???

Post by Arantes » Sat Mar 08, 2008 3:56 pm

I'm having problems using the "manage library"function on Live 6.
It says that i have nested projects, and asks me to move them to another folder.
Can someone please explain me what is a "nested project"??

thanks

howdy!

nested projects occur when you save a project inside of a project. the live library itself is a project, so if you save inside of it, you will run into the problems you described. create a folder, outside of the live library, labeled my sets or some such, and start saving your projects in here. now you can collect and save, and all of your samples and such will be saved into it's own neat little project folder.

you will have to do this with all of your projects, if you drag the sets to the new location, you will be hit with the dreaded missing files message.

so to recap> save set in new location (using save as), then self contain (collect all and save) the live set, repeat with each set, until you no longer have any sets in the live library.
