[QLab] Bundles

[Jeremy Lee]

The main difficulty that I see in creating a QLab bundle structure is  
in creating incremental backups.  I always back up my cue lists every  
time the tech takes a break (work calls, lunch, dinner, end of day).   
Since the cue list files are very small, this takes up very little  
room on the drive.  If the show file also contained all of the  
relevant audio files, this would be an EXTREME waste of space.

What would be a wonderful addition would be either an "Archive Show"  
function, which consolidates QLab files and all related audio files  
(preferably in a folder structure that mimics the existing folder  
structure) into a new folder, or an "Archive to Bundle" function  
which does this into a new bundle.  This would make transferring  
shows to a new computer/ theatre/ etc much easier, and you'd know  
that all needed audio files are in a single location.

QLab should never delete files from the drive, or move existing files.

Keep on kickin' ass!
