Project Consolidation

The Consolidate function helps you to keep track of the files associated with a project, and to manage them.

In WaveLab Pro, you can choose to save all files associated with a project in a dedicated project folder. However, you can also insert files into the project from elsewhere and keep them in their original location, so that they are not included in the project folder. In this context, the Consolidate function can be useful.

Typical use cases for the Consolidate option:

• You intend to work on your project on another computer or to share it with other users, so that they can continue working on it.

  The Consolidate option allows you to create copies of all referenced files that are located outside the project folder and to include them in the folder of the active project. This ensures that no assets are missing when the project is transferred to another machine or user.

• Files that you imported into the project but removed from it again later on are still included in the project folder and take up unnecessary memory space.

  The Consolidate option allows you to identify and delete files that are currently not referenced by the active project.
