Manage files to consolidate external files needs multiple runs

Post by MateoC » Sat Jul 05, 2025 3:35 am

Hello:

There is a problem when I go to manage files in order to manage my projects to find all external files to then consolidate/collect into the project and save. I have to run this more than once in the manage project submenu that appears to the right asking me to consolidate all external files into the project because I'll run it once and then it doesn't copy it over. Usually I'll have to run it 2 or three times. This is an annoying thing tbh. Also, hitting just the normal "Collect all and Save" does not move everything automatically over into the project. I have had multiple instances where I thought that would work so I could send a project over with everything contained in it only to find out the samples and other things were lost because they were still being mapped to an external file in my computer that is not contained in the project itself. I feel like this should be fixed on both counts. Currently, the only way to ensure I have everything in the project is to do what I said before and then to then make a pack.

Cheers.
