So it’s not been addressed in CS6 either! That’s bad.
I’ve given up PPro now in favour of Edius. Not so feature rich but totally stable and fast with lots of realtime.
For every piece of media it gives a full filepath and, get this, it’s a real lifesaver, it’ll relink totally automaticlly if just the drive letter’s changed!! What this means is that I can have my main fast drive as say P drive, with everything mirrored on an identical but slower cheaper drive as backup. When I open the project from the backup drive Edius just opens as normal, no relinking or anything!!
So in case of catastrophic failure of the main drive there’s no down time at all – wonderful.
