Talk:Check Dependencies

When saving a project that depends on other files

This similar dialog appears when you save a project that has dependencies, and have chosen in Projects Preferences to be asked whether dependent files should be copied in or not.

As with the above version, you may select some, none or all the files for copying in. This dialog gives you the option of directly setting your preference for copying in behavior when saving a project.

• Copy Selected Files Saves the project while copying only the files selected in the list into the project. The project no longer depends on the selected files but still depends on the unselected files.
• Cancel Save: Allows you to cancel saving of the project, without copying any of the listed files into it. You will be asked to say "Yes" if this is your intention. The project will continue to depend on the listed files.
• Save without Copying: Save the project without copying in the dependent files. The project will continue to depend on the listed files.
• Copy All Files (Safer): Saves the project while copying all the listed files into the project, removing all the dependencies. You can then safely move, rename or delete those files if you wish.
• Whenever a project depends on other files:
  • Ask me The default option; the Dependencies Dialog will always appear when saving a project that has dependencies.
  • Always copy all audio (safest): On all future occasions when saving a project that has dependencies, Dependencies Dialog will not appear, and all dependent files will be copied into the project.
  • Never copy any audio: On all future occasions when saving a project that has dependencies, Dependencies Dialog will not appear, and no files will be copied into the project. The project will continue to depend on the listed files.

You can change your decision in this menu at any time by going to Projects Preferences.
