I think there is either a design flaw or a bug in the Media List screen when you highlight an existing media file. It requires two steps to see the problem, and everything looks fine after the first step. Namely, I click on the filename to highlight it.
The problem is on the second step. I click on the tiny folder icon at the far right end of the screen. My intention is to go into Windows File Explorer. I will rename the file in Windows File Explorer and immediately select the new name to replace the old name. This is the standard safe way to rename a file so that RM has a correct link to the new file name rather than a broken link to the old file name. However, after clicking on the tiny folder icon, I am positioned at RM’s default media folder rather than at the folder containing the file. A significant amount of navigation is required in Windows File Explorer to get to the correct folder to rename the file.
it is only sensible to have all media for one database in one media folder. The real problem is RM10 uses the same media folder for all databases. FTM is terrible at fixing broken media links but is smart enough to look at the media folder related to each database.
Responses are missing Jerry’s point.
When adding NEW media, it makes sense to open the file browser in the media folder by default, however, when opening the file browser for existing media, the file browser should open to the folder containing that particular file.
This new behavior in ver 8 and later causes me many extra mouse clicks compared to ver 7.
Yes, I didn’t say it well. But the issue is new media vs. existing media. And when I was trying to rename an existing file, that file was definitely “existing media”.
