Is it just me or does Vegas not handle lnk files, i.e., shortcuts to files stored elsewhere? When I select the lnk file, I get no information besides the path. When I drag-and-drop an lnk file (a shortcut to an avi file) onto a track, it is disallowed.
This is quite annoying because lnk files are a good poor-man's filing system. Say I have 30 avis that will be made into 10 dvds for 10 different people...organized by whose kids appear in which avi, naturally :-) So I created 10 folders and tossed in shortcuts to the 30 original avis. Within each folder, I now need to do some Vegas work. Too bad I cannot use the "avis" (lnks to avis, I mean) in these folders.
Perhaps someone can tell me if this is also how Vegas 5 operates. If not, I humbly suggest to Sony that they add this feature. Simple to add, useful for some, correct Windows behavior, IMHO. Thanks.
---------- EDIT ------------------
Ahem. Upon further review, it looks at though Vegas handles lnk files just fine when they are good links. When the shortcut links to a file that doesn't exist...then Vegas has a bit of a problem. Good Vegas, Bad User :-)
Sony: Since you already have the lnk feature, how about a bozo button for this forum allowing users to remove their own threads?
