Project File LLC should store File Location

[defencedog]

I have a lot of issues to go through, so in order to make it easier for me to help you, I ask that you please try these things first

• Check out all the menus and keyboard shortcuts. Maybe the feature already exists?
• Try with the newest version from GitHub
• Read the documentation and FAQ, Known issues, Troubleshooting to see if the feature already exists
• See if someone already suggested this under Issues or Discussions

Description

The .llc file starts with:

{
  version: 1,
  mediaFileName: 'Danni - Net Video Girls.mp4',
  cutSegments: [
.
.
.

Can we add mediaFileLocation so that when loading the project file application loads media from this location

[mifi]

We could add a separate mediaFileLocation, but I'm not sure if loading the media from that location is the right thing to do, because the way it works now is that it will load the media file in the same directory as the llc file. If we load from an absolute path mediaFileLocation, then if the user moves the file to a different folder, it breaks. What is the use case for this?

@mifi If you're working on multiple projects its productive to keep project files in one same folder while media files can be anywhere. This at least give you visual view of what amount of projects are to be completed

[mifi]

I see. I think that use case could be solved by sorting files by file type, so that all the project files are grouped together. But maybe also attempting to load files from an absolute path mediaFileLocation could be useful feature to some. It's the first time I heard this request so I can leave it open to see if there's more interest for this.
