Project maintenance: backup and repair

Perhaps tangentially related to Drag & Drop, http://magicmusicvisuals.com/forums/vie ... ?f=4&t=198.
1) "Save Project & Files" option
1.1) All required assets backed up along with the .magic project.
1.2) Create a new folder/directory, with the Magic project at the top level and with all assets in subdirectories, eg Audio, Image, Video, GLSLshader, 3rd-party FFGL modules
1.3) Easy to zip up the entire project structure for backup (& submission to Magic HQ if requested).
2) More detailed diagnostics when assets are missing
2.1) Log file listing all missing assets, rather than just the warning message panel "The following file(s) could not be loaded:" & (missing) after audio files.
2.2) Show the full path(s), rather than the present abbreviated path(s).
2.3) Ideally have additional section in log file, missing assets by Scene-Module. This would facilitate patching if assets cannot be found "manually".
