I have to say this makes a lot of sense and does seem to be a time saving approach. This explains why I was unable to reconcile the use of Templates, I tend to agree they are misnamed. Thank you everyone for your help, I will keep developing my workflow and see what feels more comfortable. Thank you for your support. Regards, Ian.

Jill, thank you, I will do as you suggest as it will keep things tidy and I do like tidy Thank you for your help. Regards, Ian.

Hi, is it considered ok to work on a project directly in the templates folder or should I really move it to my projects folder? The latter feels good practice and tidy but I’m not sure it matters. Thank you for your help. Regards, Ian.

Hi, yes, that is a great point, thank you. Regards Ian

Thank you for the help. I have created a template from an existing project and PTE pulled a copy of all the assets for the project together into the specified template folder. This has saved me hours of manual messing about. I am so please I asked on the forum and very grateful for the very prompt and helpful responses. thank you so much Stay Safe Ian PS, I am sure I will be back soon with my next question ;-)

Excellent, Thank you, I will give that a go. Thank you for your help Regards Ian

Gary That was exactly my thinking, thank you. So to my next question. If I have already created a project with the assets scattered all over are there any tools or utilities to read the PTE file and pull all the assets together into a single folder, or is this a manual exercise? Thank you for your support. Regards, Ian.

I was looking for some guidance about best practice workflow for managing assets that are used to create a new slideshow. Using the PTE browser I can pull in images and other assets from anywhere on my disks but I was wondering if it was considered best practice to copy all assets into a single folder or under a single project folder so that you have them in one place for future use and edits? Any advice appreciated.
