Another good idea for the feature request list.
That one is a case where Chris and I couldn't settle on the right way to
handle the typical user who doesn't have the forethought to create a
directory ahead of time. The project packager was in part conceived as a
way of cleaning that kind of thing up after the fact. It rounds up all
the bits needed to play a particular composition, rolls them into an
archive, and when you unpack it, all the bits go into a directory.
I can offer as a data point that the commercial software I'm using on
Windows doesn't handle this very well either. I have no idea where most
of my stuff is. I've got a structure like
$WINDOWS_BLATHER\Some Project\Some Other Project\A Third Project
where my intention was to have
$WINDOWS_BLATHER\Some Project
$WINDOWS_BLATHER\Some Other Project
$WINDOWS_BLATHER\A Third Project
Going back into something three years later is a huge misadventure.
Sad that I've been using Windows that long. I quite despise Windows, but
when I bought a complicated rig for recording drums, I just couldn't run
it from Linux. I can barely run that gear using the proprietary apps
supplied by the manufacturer, and sure have no clue how to reverse
engineer them. Alas.
Anyway, this ramble is a long way of saying that yes, it would be good
for an application to get this kind of thing right, and Rosegarden has
room for improvement in this area!
