EXPORT chunk to DP project?

[MIDI Life Crisis]

You never know that you don't need something until you need it. Today, I really wanted to modify an existing (older) DP Project to repurpose a particular sequence into a new work. It would have been really handy to be able to have an option in the dropdown menu that added "SAVE SEQUENCE (CHUNK) TO A NEW DP PROJECT FILE" similar to the way you can duplicate the chunk or the layout.

The file I'm pulling the sequence from is a very large project (done in DP 7) and I don't want to change the file in the least, so I don't want to resave or 'save as.' And yes, there are many workarounds. Save as and delete; save and restore from backup. Or LOAD from the regional file. But the original file had at least 10 tracks and three VIs I don't need, so if I load from the original, I'll get all that stuff in the new project (which is already quite large).

I know, this is in the weeds, but I'm just throwing it out there:

SAVE TO NEW DP PROJECT option for not yet saved CHUNKS has all sorts of ramifications for me. Anyone else, or am I wrong? (Note: I'm often wrong... lol)

It's a bit more screwing around, but could you just Load the chunk into the new sequence?

I haven't been able to try is yet but my concern (as in the o/p) is that I don't want all the VIs to import as they are quite large in both projects. Maybe they won't be included but I don't want to chance bloating the projects.

Thanks.

You can save a sequence as a clipping (highlight in Chunks window and Copy to Clipping), then drop that clipping into the Chunks window in a new session.

Oh, duh! Thanks. Forgot all about friggin' clippings. Must be getting old. I just now started understanding VCA tracks. lol

Good luck resetting all your VI bundles doing that... it would be the perfect solution, if it worked properly.

Has this been corrected in DP100?

Man, I have some updating to do!

No, it does not work properly. Actually may be getting worse - not just VIs, but every output, even if you import the bundles. That's pretty messed up. Sorry for the suggestion.
