No Search clip? Relink 2+ clip?

Hi everyone!

I have a question about "search for a clip in timeline" by clip name. I need to relink the clip, but I renamed some files. Now the app asks me to link, but the timeline is huge, with many tracks. There's no ctrl+F function?? Not a simple "Find.."? What about click the name at Files panel and go to the timeline's location?
A panel to a search for a clip's all inserts by name? Nothing? Really?

And what about relink more than 1 clip to the same file? Not possible too?

    Usually when Re-linking clips in Audition many of them will be in the same location (if you are well organised). In that case Audition should find and re-link all missing clips from that same location.

    if you are really lost and don't know where to look you could open your .sesx file in a .xml reading app like a web browser and see where Audition thinks the files ought to be. All Absolute and Relative path names for files used in a session are listed towards the end of the .sesx file.

    So basically you've created a session, and then deliberately renamed files referenced in it? Caveat Emptor...

    If you use File>Reveal in explorer, then the Ctrl+F function is available.

    Well, saying like this seems stupid, but wasn't exactly easy this..
    First my audition created 44100hz files from lower level files. Than I renamed the originals for organize, I have gigas of sfx and nedded a cleaned view. Than I had a saddly situation, got a virus in my computer and needed a reinstallation of system. In this process I lost the folder of 44100 files. So.. now I still had the sesx file, but not some linked ones inside. See? It happens... kkk
