After effects missing files auto batch relink

[sigalite86633480]

after effect used to re link all the missing files as a batch - now i have a new macbook pro and it relink only one file each time and not automatically, do you have a solution for that bug?

You could likely try one of the many import/ export/ project management scripts on AEScripts.com.

Hi sigalite86633480,

Sorry for your issue.

It seems to be working fine for me. Is it happening with a particular project? Would you mind testing it with a new project? Also, what's the exact version of After Effects you're using: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-after...

Let us know.

Thanks,

Nishu

This function is still broken. Any word on an actual fix?

Hi 

i did try it in a few different projects, the version is 18.4.1

I also rest the preferences as in the link you attached and still didnt work...

Thanks for you assistance

The functions appear to be currently somehow busted on Mac at least from what I read here on the forum, hence I was referring to the scripts.

Hi Mylenium, 

I've searched for more info on this but can't find any. Could you please suggest the best import/export script? I so wish Adobe would fix this bug- it's so frustrating and time-consuming to be without it! Thanks!!

I tried everything wrestling with a similar bug that happens with collects using AE over Dropbox and files not sync correctly.  I even tried manually changing the file paths and Volume names in an XML / .aepx file.  It still ignored the path even though the files were there forcing a re-link one by one.  

Solve:
A resonable solve was to use Immigration from AE scripts, saved me hrs of pain.
