I finally got this consolidate/copy my RED files.
First I tried deleting parts of the timeline in case there was something weird in one of the clips that was making it crash before it finished but the estimated file size for the New Project just got much bigger, even though there were far fewer clips. The more I deleted from the timeline, the bigger the new project files size estimate became.
Then I used the copy/paste timeline to get the timeline into a while new project and from there the Media Management>Timeline Copy finally worked. Unfortunately, I’d simplified the timeline a bit too much but I thought I could now go and relink the original timeline to the new files. I did a delete & 're-import with tight file names’. This relinked nicely but instantly lost all versions of all grades.
Other thought on the Media Management page…
The Media Management page needs to be a scaleable window because I can never read the filename at the end of a long path or timeline name, they don’t fit. Also it needs a ‘Recalculate’ button because you’re never sure if it’s finished thinking about the destination file size estimate.
