  • How to import bin from one project into another

    Posted by Avi Lev on June 3, 2014 at 10:31 pm

    I swear I have done it before. I’m trying to import a bin from other project into the current project window.
    If I remember it right I did it through one option in the Fast Menu on the top-left of the Project Window. But I can’t find it now.
    Help please.

    I use the “open bin” and have it show up in the project window, then do a “save as” to the open project or copy bin contents to a new folder created within that project.

    or

    At the desktop level, with MC not running, copy bin into the project folder.

    “At the desktop level, with MC not running, copy bin into the project folder. ”

    May I ask what might go wrong if you do it with MC running? I’ve been doing it for years…what bullet have I dodged?

    It’s more that the project be closed than MC not running, but I am always sure there will be no issues with MC not running. I have see corrupt bins that come up with ???? as a name when copying bins into a project that is open.
