Move Tracks To An Existing Folder

Cubase
1

Please create a ‘Move Track(s) to an existing Folder’ function.

It is imperative with large projects.

EDIT:

I’m looking for a function as per: Select multiple tracks → Function: ‘Move selected tracks to folder’ → New dropdown search window (or something to that effect) → type in the name of the folder you wish to move said tracks → name of folder comes up as per the search result → Perform move selected tracks to the selected folder.

I am not discussing highlighting tracks and putting selected tracks into a new folder.

With thanks

I assume you mean “move selected tracks to EXISTING folder” as we already have the “to new folder” one?

Why not just move them to the folder? :person_shrugging:

Hiya, I’m looking for a function as per: ‘Move selected tracks to folder’ → New dropdown search window (or something to that effect) → type in the name of the folder you wish to move said tracks → name of folder comes up as per the search result → Perform move selected tracks to the selected folder.

Because I run massive projects and some tracks may need to be put in folders, moving them can be very time-consuming.

I just select all tracks, and drag them to the folder. Job done

I didn’t realize we had the ability to do such a thing, but it seems to be possible after researching and finding this YouTube short. It is in the project tab, not where I expected it to be

It’s not that simple. I deal with over 1000 tracks and multiple folders and folders within folders…

heya, that’s not what I’m requesting.

Well either way you have to first select the tracks you want to move.

I just created 500 audio tracks n a few folder tracks.

I was able to SHIFT-Click select all 500 tracks and quickly drag them to a new folder in seconds.

1000 tracks? Huge film scoring?

Buddy, I’m trying to say that I don’t want to highlight a track or tracks and create a new folder.

I am referring to highlighting a track and moving it to an existing folder.

I could have a track at the bottom of the session that might need to go to the very top, track-wise. I have to click this track and physically put it in a folder that might be miles away. That’s what I am trying to say.

Like on an e-mail for instance, when you can perform a ‘Move To Folder’ function, I would like to have the exact same thing with tracks in Cubase Pro…

PS. Yeah, it’s film scoring work that I do, and some sessions have over 1000 tracks.

yes I knew you were. The test I described was dragging those tracks into an existing folder.

anyway, I’m not opposed to your feature request, as the more options we have the better IMO :slight_smile:

You are completely correct, this function already exists in Pro Tools and is quite useful for large projects, such as orchestral and choral projects. It saves a lot of time by directing files to existing folders with a simple right-click. As a former Pro Tools user of over 10 years, it’s one of the few things I miss in Nuendo/Cubase.
