No, as far as I know there’s no way to get the file management system within Resolve to remember a specific location, drive, or folder.
My workaround would be to NOT make your everyday working folder six layers deep. Mine is always right on top, on a dedicated external drive. At the most, I’ll go two folders deep: Project -> Camera Originals, something like that.

Yes, if you hit command-1 (on Mac) to highlight the Source window, you can then hit the keystrokes for the desired timecode, press enter, and you’ll go to that timecode number for the Source clip.

[Massimo Alberto Croce] “Is your project nested inside a folder? try to put it in the root of your home project windows. this happen also to me and i found that resolve cannot read timeline if a project resides inside a folder.”
I just had to use ColorTrace yesterday with a v12 project, and it DID find the timeline inside a folder. This is with 12.0.1. -
Buy a BMD monitor card — the MiniMonitor is affordable and will do the job — and use a calibrated Rec709 monitor as your hero display. You can’t do it properly within the operating system alone.
Read page 586 of the v12 manual: “Limitations When Grading With the Viewer on a Computer Display.”

[James Lennox-Gordon] “The reason I want to automate is because I have hundreds of cards to bring in, each with a long, specific name. I’ve been doing a manual copy/paste but it takes a long time so it’s not thinking too hard about it to want to do faster and more accurately.”
My workaround for this (if you can call it one) would be to hire an assistant/trainee at $10/hour and have him or her sit there for a day or two and do all this work for you on a second machine. This will cost you under $100 and allow you to keep working elsewhere.There are a thousand annoying, time-consuming editorial tasks that have to be done on any project, and many of them are just necessary parts of the job. The question is whether the editor does it, the assistant editor does it, the conforming artist does it, or the colorist does it. If one person is doing all of these jobs, my answer is to a) drink heavily, and b) know that the sooner you start, the sooner it’ll be done.

Well, I think the answer is, buy the paid version and you’ll have this feature.

Sadly, no.

[Nick Robbins] “The clip is a standard ProRes 422 .mov file. Nothing seems odd about it and it plays find in Premiere. The only odd thing about I notice is the file is somewhat larger than others from that shoot day – it’s about 50GB.”
A 50GB ProRes 422 HD file would be over an hour long, which is unusual (but not impossible). What would happen if you could cut the clip in half? -
No. The only way you could exchange projects would be to export stills from every single shot in the project, import those stills, and then manually drop those grades into the shots. Keyframes and tracking would not transport.
My advice would be to back up the other computer, then upgrade it to Resolve 12 and see how well it works. If there’s issues, go back to 11. Be extra sure to backup the project database.
