Can not drag and drop a Chaser into a Folder

Hello folks,

In the Functions Manager, I created a subfolder in the main chasers folder. After dragging/dropping a chaser in and wants to drag another chaser in too, it looks like it's working at first, but when I save and reload the set the last chaser isn't in the subfolder and when I'm in the scroll down the main chaser folder I see the chaser is back in the main folder.

I've tried a few more times but it doesn't work. Is there a limit for chasers or is it a bug? I have countless subfolders in the other functions such as Collection, Scene, EFX and so on, but I can still create folders there and drag Scenes, Collections etc. into them.

Does anyone have an idea about the problem?

Regards
webworker

I can't seem to reproduce your problem with the latest test version...

It helps using the latest version available. Since you didn't mention yours it difficult to know what is going on.

I found out.
It was related to a certain chaser that had another chaser stuck in it. I had built a second chaser for this chaser and then wanted to move it to the subfolder.
That still doesn't work.
If I create a new test folder and simply move a few chasers into it, then it works. If I move the two problem chasers into there, the last one is thrown out again.

I don't know what exactly leads to this, but I can narrow it down a bit.

Otherwise I have about 200 chasers, 350 collections, 100 EFX and 400 scenes in over 50 subfolders.

It strikes me that it would be nice to have a function that would allow you to filter unused scenes/collections, etc. and release them for deletion. So I don't know when I delete a scene that I don't think I've used anywhere that it's not used somewhere. So my function manager is always full and I can no longer clean it up :roll:

Yes I know - a garbage collection would be useful sometimes... I have been looking into the project file to find redundant cue's, chasers, ... but didn't end that project with a result.
It should be possible to enumerate all used components and then clean out the ones, not in use.
