Touch 77 used to do a really good job of finding the path relative to the project file automatically when I’d select a file using the file selection dialog. Now it always puts an absolute path in the dialog, which I then have to edit to point to a sub-folder of the project. If I forget, it makes my projects non-portable. Can this capability be added back?
Thanks,
Michael
This should also be working in 088, which build are you using? I have confirmed its working in 16360.
Any media that is inside the folder heirarchy of the project will automatically be shortened to a relative path. See the attachment where I have an image at the root of the project folder and also inside a subfolder called images in the project folder. Both use relative paths after selecting the images with the file browser.
If you have a case where we can reproduce it let me know. Perhaps its not working in the build you have?
This behavior was changed and fixed in the 16000+ series. It doesn’t work right in the 12000 right now.
What about media that is outside the project folder. TD used to look for matching env variables and replace some of the media’s path with them. This doesn’t work anymore
It was pretty inconsistent in the past, and sometimes matched to really weird variables like $USERPROFILE.
I’m thinking we should add a list of media folders that it can attempt to truncate to. What do you think?
Not sure, a customizable list would probably be good, or only match env variables that contain a keyword, e.g. $TDPATH_media1, $TDPATH_media2 …
I’m not using the experimental build, so i’m still in 12000 series. Sounds like this is fixed. Thanks for the information.
