Guilty! As disciplined as I try to be...

I wouldn't mind seeing a feature/script that copied files into th= e current project folder that aren't there already. And one that only c= ollects files that aren't on a server.

Just a tho= ught: =C2=A0You could try to move all your linked footage, or rename the co= ntaining folder/directory, and have the project open with missing media, an= d then relink it after the project is open.

You could also try importing the slow Project int= o a new Project.
