Rosemary A Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hi, Is there any way that I can save the pictures that I have used in a show? I like to put all recourses for a show in it's own folder including pictures used for future reference. Rosemary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeismicGuy Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I recently asked something similar and there is the Zip option on the Files drop down where you can essentially archive the entire project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary A Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thank you so much. The zip option never occurred to me. I was so accustomed to Producer option to collect the files. The zip is easier. Rosemary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosemary A Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thank you Barry for this very informative video. I like to save the pictures etc in one folder along with the show link and then when I reopen a show months or years later and see that dreaded window pop up " Some files from this show are missing. Would you like to search for them" all I have to do is point PTE in this case, towards the saved file. Rosemary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wideangle Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hi Rosemary I’ve just tracked down a conversation we had many moons ago about using Backup in Zip (see below) [Posted January 8 Hi Rosemary The Backup in Zip is extremely useful generally. I do a Backup in Zip for every project I create. It is a very quick way to create a security backup of your work, as, in one click, it collects together copies of all the files you have used in that project, and zips them together. It’s also handy for transferring a project from, say, a desktop to a laptop. Regards wideangle] Obviously it’s slipped your mind!! I would get into the habit of using it at the end of every project you complete, as a way of getting an immediate backup of all the files in one place. Not only are you collecting your pictures together, but you are pulling in all other used files eg audio etc. Regards wideangle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkb Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Saving the show as a Template will do exactly what you want. It also has the advantage in that all of your shows will be in one place - a Templates folder. Plus all of your shows can be accessed directly from PTE without the need to go searching and unzipping. You can easily copy the Template folders to another PC and they will be available within PTE on that computer also. Not sure about it but I would assume they will also work with the Mac version in the same way. I create a Template for all of my shows.

Rosemary A Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thank you jkb. I shall have to try that option. Wideangle, thank you. I must of missed putting your suggestion in my binder of PTE tips. That binder is getting quite fat! Rosemary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
