This is my biggest bugbear with Tracktion, and as I am using it a lot more because it's getting so great, I'm running into this more and more. The problem is the workflow is all back-to-front. You are required to create a new project first and then create specific edits within that. In principle that makes some sense but in practice I don't think it really reflects how people work, or at least how I do.
What I tend to do is create a default project set up how I want to start and then ideas emerge while I play, which I save as a new edit, but if those ideas really develop in a new direction there is currently no way for me to setup a new project based on that new direction, I can't drag edits between projects for example or reorganise them at all really, essentially there is no real flexible project management in the projects pane, it's all a one way system and now I have a number of projects that started out as 'default' projects that really I would like to split up into several projects but can't.

Yes, there is. Simply archive an edit and unpack it into another project.aMUSEd wrote:there is currently no way for me to setup a new project based on that new direction

Or just start a new project, name and save it and leave it open along with your other projects and move the elements you want from your other open projects to the new one. I'm presuming at least T5 here.

It is time to come together in the middle of the road.

Yeah I can do that but these methods are really clunky and don't address the real problem - it should be possible to just drag an edit into a new project, create a new project based on a particular edit, copy edits between projects, and rename projects containing edits.

Please feel free to ignore my solution and stick to your 'it should be possible' if that works better for you.

I'm not ignoring it, in fact I've used it, but it doesn't negate the fact that the project management is not brilliant and needs improving, and it sounds like that is going to happen so clearly it isn't just me that thinks that there is room for improvement. I'm suggesting ways that needs to go.
