Michiel, would it be possible to have in the futur a batch processing to backup all shows from a folder based on the "save show + media files" as it is done for the BixPacks ?
This would allow us to save only the media used.
I already do that but in a round about way. You probably know that if you save with the option:
"Save Show + all media files . ."
to a folder then all everything in that show is saved in the relevant folders.
I made another Bluff Folder group for myself which has ALL Bluff related files in it, it like my library.

Yes i know the option, actually I'd like a procedure that automates this option "Save Show + all media files..." for all shows in a directory.

The danger is that you end up with all your shows in one folder.
The FILE > SAVE SHOW + ALL MEDIA FILES... option is great for compiling a template pack or for posting a show in this community, but I think it's less useful for storage. I prefer to store my models in the folder D:\Media\3DModels with lots of subfolders to prevent it gets too big. I have similar folders for textures, vectors, audio and other media files. This makes it also easier to use them in other apps. And making a backup is as easy as copying the D:\Media folder.

Too bad !
Ok. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. It is not a danger because I was thinking of this for ARCHIVING not for storing as DATA for futur use.
Like this i store all and only the necessary media, It looks a lot of better method for me for this case.
The method you recommend is the one I currently use, but I end up with a lot of unused media.
I'll try to manage to make a small program.
