How to create and template folder structure to use project-to-project?

[Anonymous]

Our company has a pretty consistent and repeated workflow, so this is simply for organization/consistency sake, but I would like to create a "default" folder stucture when creating a new Smoke project from scratch, and I haven't been able to find a way to do it. 

Ideally, this would be something I could just import, or a script that could be run...

Any ideas??

Thanks!

Hi Michael.

One way you could achieve that is to create a new empty project, then create the folder structure you want in it and archive the project (or just the Libraries and folders).

Then each time you create a new project, you open the archived template and drag the libraries & folders from there into the new project.

Does this make sense?

Or a very basic way is to create your folders in the OS. Then drag and drop them into your new project.

Thanks for the suggestion!

So after trying this, i discovered that you'll need to nest in a "clip" of some sort (color source or color bars or whatever) in order to drag the folders over....simply just dragging over the Folder Tree Structure I archived would not work on its own.

So there you go! This works great!
