FR: add .drlib suffix to disk database folders

PostSat Feb 04, 2023 3:47 pm

BMD could make it easier for users to find and connect to Libraries by tweaking the names - how about a .drlib suffix for the folder that's the root of the library?

As a bonus, if someone chooses a file inside the Library Resolve could easily try the parent and grandparent of the file and see if that's a db/Library.

I don't believe this is necessary. Keep what we have now.

Because what we have now is so darn obvious to everyone? And never causes them trouble?

Thanks Walter. Getting pushback on even this suggestion was kind of a surprise to me. Seems like a win all around.

Resolve not being able to select the correct folder by itself if you guide it to the the project library file is super frustrating and causes ongoing confusion with new users.
