show the end of the file path not the beginning

Post by jonasgrumby » Tue Mar 30, 2010 9:36 am

Feature Request:

On our computer the path to our audio files is usually something like

C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Nameoftheshow\audiofile.mp3

In the SCS Editor the beginning of the path shows and the end gets cut off due to screen space restraints. Unfortunately the beginning of the path is fairly useless information and the end of the path is the important information. Is it possible to show the end of the path rather than the beginning?

Thanks

If you have all your required audio files in the show's folder then save your cue file (the .scs file) to the same folder, eg as:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Nameoftheshow\Nameoftheshow.scs

By doing this, the editor will then display filenames like this:
$(Cue)\anyoldfile.wav

So in this example, $(Cue) is displayed instead of C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Nameoftheshow
