Better relink of missing footages
We need a better interface when relinking missing footages in the "Replace footage file" popup window.
At least something like in InDesign where the missing file would be automatically highlighted in the currently displayed folder.
This would be very easy to develop (I guess) and way more pleasant and efficient, instead of manually searching the matching filename in the folder, which is a plain waste of time.
My workaround : copy missing filename from Project tab, paste it in the "Replace file" popup window when in the right folder, press Enter (file is then replaced), repeat for next file until all done: works but is silly.
But the real deal would be to be able to search missing fileS (not one, but many at once) in a specified folder with recursive ability (including subfolders), so we can "batch relink" a whole project with a few clics (and maybe a bit of waiting if there are many files and subfolders). Some scripts do that, I bought one and it works but not with european accents caracters in filenames.
This is so basic I don't understand why it's not been done ages ago.
Hope you can improve the relink footage task, with these simple ideas or other better ideas.
Thanks for this great piece of software I love using,
regards.

Totally agree. It's been like this for so long. Just very lazy to not implement a better system. Even Premiere has a better method.
