Edits do not save to correct project

Look I'm not sure how this happened but here's the run down.

 

I have two projects open at once, one contains a list of all my mainly used assets (A), whilst the other is the main project (B) - example, short film.

I was just editing today and noticed that whenever I would import anything into B like specific footage, it would also import to project A... I would like to emphasise I am editing on a sequence saved in project B. Anyway so I think it's odd that anything I import into B ends up in A's media library, so I close project A (no save prompt given) to see if a restart would fix it.

Closing project A (just project A), closed project B with no save prompt, losing all my progress, even progress I had previously saved?

 

Not sure how to replicate, but just letting team be aware

Hi @Tonty -  Thanks for submitting your bug report. We need a few more details to try to help with the issue.
Please see, How to Report a Problem.

 

Can you check in your Preferences > Media > "Allow duplicate media during project import" is checked or unchecked?


Sorry for the frustration.

I try to avoid having two projects open at once.

If I need something from one project in another project, I open project A, copy it, close project A, and open project B and paste.
