I think the interference between these and my Drag and Drop patch should be very small, so yes, of course, go ahead, let’s sort this out together!

For me the next step would be the possibility to shift the time of images in the profile using the mouse.

I must say, I am still not convinced about your „local file based management“ solution. It seems to me besides the actual copying of the files to a folder (possibly the magic dropbox or own cloud folder) this is a subset of what we already do with the image hashes. And there, when I wrote that, I decided that I would not do the coping as the cicurmstances where this makes sense (given the possible data size and issues of reediting etc) we should better let the user do this explicitly.

Plus there is this proposal by Dirk, to sort this out once and for all in a way that is compatible with could saving. I think this whole context needs a bit more thinking before we can start implementing as otherwise we will very likely throw away stuff we write now or even worse run into a legacy problem.

Just my $.02.

Best
Robert
