  Text Field Content Order

  Posted by Martin Nelson on March 19, 2011 at 12:24 am

  This has been bugging me forever, but I’ve been so sure I won’t like the answer, or that there is no answer, I’ve avoided posting this question. The time, though, is nigh.

  I’d like to place the phrase ‘crowds in hall waiting’ into the Comments field of several clips in a bin. I know that I can Shift Select the clips I’d like to apply this to and then Ctrl Click the Comments field on any one of the clips and a pulldown menu appears of many of the entries I’ve put in before. Here’s the question: what order are these entries in here? They aren’t alphabetical, they aren’t in there in the order they’ve been added to the project, they aren’t there prioritized by number of times used.

  I’m asking because I use comments a lot. In fact I use them so much I’ve discovered there seems to be a 200 entry limit for what appears in the pulldown list. And they appear to be in a completely random order. So second question: is there a way to clean the list so they do appear in some sort of order.

  Or (question 3) is there another way to paste an entry into several clips Comments field at once?

  Very bugged,

  Martin
