Basic asset management
Love screenflow, but the asset pool quickly becomes unmanageable. We need a way to:
- Rename assets. Currently the only way to do this is to delete the asset, and then import the renamed asset.
- Delete assets. There is no way to do this currently apart from "delete unused", which is a nuclear option that also kills needed-but-yet-to-be-placed assets.
- Group assets. There can be hundreds of assets in larger projects, sorting through them is challenging. Easily fixed by allowing users to place assets inside user-created folders.
- Referencing source assets. So when a source asset is modified, screenflow can update the project, rather than having to reimport the updated file (and then having no way to delete the old one).

Craig, many thanks for taking the time to reply.
I spent half an hour trying to summon that menu you've displayed, before realising that it only appears when Media Library is in thumbnail view.
(I've only ever used Screenflow's Media Library in List view, where right clicking on a file does nothing? Or am I missing something there?)
Can now delete and rename, that's fully 50% of my requests taken care of with a single reply from you, nicely done :)

We're getting there.

That said - I've spent thousands of hours using Screenflow and still missed this...surely would make sense to ensure consistency, and add the same right-click functionality to the list view as well.

Philip Johnston Agreed.
