Max Project - folder renaming

Lasse Munk's icon

Hi All,

Is it possible to rename folder / make ones own structure within the Max Projects, e.g. having a separate folder for images and video, naming a folder 01_patchers etc?

This will be a great workflow optimisation when there are several people developing on a max project :)

Have a good day / evening / night :)

yes of course.

i would recommend to leave the standard as is, and then add an additional major custom folder for your work / your favorite structure.

the new folder(s) just have to be added to the search path (file preferences) and off you go.

But messing with folder structure inside a Max project ? probably not possible. I just tried to have a picture inside a subfolder inside the "media" folder, each time i reopen the project it goes back at the top level of inside the "media" patcher, and the folder i created becomes empty.

You should disable "Keep Project Folder Organized" in Project Inspector.

I know this is old, but it just saved me from wasting even more time trying to fix the same issue! THANKS!
