Subfolders for "Collect Assets..."
Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2021 1:42 pm
I often use long image-sequences with automatically generated image names, collected in subfolders like "Sequence1", "Sequence2" etc.
When I collect all assets, the resulting folder structure is flat with one folder for all the files.
The problem:
- it gets quite messy in that folder
- problems with duplicate filenames
A checkbox with the option to create a subfolder (preferably the name of the folder where the images were located) for all images from one folder would be great.
Simplified Example:
There still could be duplicate folder names (means images from 2 identically named folders, but in different locations would still end in the same folder), but even with this limitation life would be much easier.

Code: Select all
Source images:
c:\pics\cam1\Sequence1\pic1.jpg
c:\pics\cam1\Sequence1\pic2.jpg
etc.
c:\pics\cam2\Sequence2\pic1.jpg
c:\pics\cam2\Sequence2\pic3.jpg
etc.
c:\Photos\2021\Vacation\Backgrounds\Photo1.png
c:\Photos\2021\Vacation\Backgrounds\Photo2-png
etc.
Resulting folder structure:
c:\Magic\Project1\Media-Files\Sequence1\...
c:\Magic\Project1\Media-Files\Sequence2\...
c:\Magic\Project1\Media-Files\Backgrounds\...
