Missing Files : Bugs and Suggestions

[ndutton]

Bug reference: 5.2.2 PRO

Scenario (1) :

I think I found a bug in the "Missing Files" check. When I originally brought this up during the BETA, the purpose was to check for SS and JPG files referenced in the sequence. You added media files as a bonus, however, for media I don't think it is working correctly. I moved all my 'work in progress' sequences from there to my production folder. Got the flags for missing files and fixed them. Even the media appeared to be correct. I then used the 'create playback files' and all appeared OK. I then created a show and ran it. Most of the sequences failed citing Windows Media playback failure.

To fix the issue I simply opened the media file under sequence re-selected the media file, saved and recreated the playback files and all was good. (but 50 sequences later, most with matrix and mega trees, this is a pile of time for this hidden gem created.)

I believe this only happens when the media file is in the same folder as the sequence. It will be fixed in the next release.

that could be the case, as that's how I file my sequences.
