Hi John,
This also has been my workflow up until now but it just seemed better if AE can adopt a default directory structure like most 3D applications (scene, render, graphics, audio, etc) for each project. And everytime you want to import/export/save something, it goes automatically to their respective folders within the main project folder without having to change it manually.
Oh well, maybe they will one day implement this idea or at least read this post 🙂
Thanks for your respond though
Cheers!
