eight Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Is it possible to choose the root directory on a per project basis? We have a studio with multiple file storages paths, and we want some projects to go on one file storage and other projects to go on a different file storage. For example: City1 - Storage1 - Storage2 City2 -Storage1 -Storage2 If I want to work on Project1 in City1, Storage1 and City2, Storage1, but I want to work on Project2 in City1, Storage2 and City2, Storage2. What's the best way to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias Lagergren Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 There are multiple ways of dealing with this, one being to setup a Proxy location that proxies a few different Storage/Disk locations, based on the Project that the Component/Version lives in. This is not something I've done myself, but it is possible to setup a Location plugin that does not map to a "ftrack location" - but rather proxies it to the correct Location plugin. I think Lorenzo at efestolab has a solution for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I found the proxy location documentation from efestolab. Although it's helpful, it looks like it's meant to filter by Task Types and Component Types rather than by Project. I think I can base something off that, but it would be better to have this kind of thing already built into ftrack Connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
