Add symmetrical synchronization

othergun

Hello,

I'm really glad to have found your extension! It makes my workflow much easier and saves me a lot of time! However, can you add symmetrical synchronization?

Let me explain: Currently the synchronization works when you add files in windows folders, but it would be great to delete the files in Premiere Pro as soon as you delete them from the windows folders.

Do you understand what I mean? Do you think this is possible?

Thanks 🙂

othergun thank you!

Of course anything is possible, though I tried to make Watchtower safe for a user, so there is no removal of a footage. When a file is going offline in Premiere Pro it could be not just because it was deleted but also because it was renamed or moved. If file was used in some sequences it is not safe to delete it.

With these concerns in mind I will still explore possible options 🙂

I recently found this Watchtower extension and it seems very useful, however I am having issues that when I remove files in Windows, Premiere gets confused and it becomes more hassle to find and remove the files in the project than to not use Watchtower at all. Folders are not static like a statue, things get added but also deleted, renamed, and moved around.

Currently there is a force sync button, maybe there could be another button to force a two-way sync so that files that have been removed in Windows are also removed from the Project so that Premiere is not looking for them anymore. This way it would not happen by accident but only as a result of user intervention to remove the orphaned files from within Premiere.
