A housekeeping function to search through all the folders in the search path, and copy all used images and/or snippets into one specified location would be very handy.

Re: Image housekeeping
I'll second that... but I have a caveat, I have about 60 separate projects, I'd like the ability to create a "global" linked project and the tool to be able to trawl through all 60 linked projects and do the same - but actually for finding images that are now totally NOT used anywhere so I can easily/safely delete those unneeded files

Re: Image housekeeping
I too would love to have the many unlinked images in my projects swept into a special folder for archiving or deleting.

Re: Image housekeeping
We've implemented a function to backup and remove unused images in the last beta build 4057:
http://download.ec-software.com/help-an ... 0-beta.exe
The function is implemented right below the list of "unused images" in the (full) project report. It splits the images by folder, so that you can remove the images folder-wise with the click of a button. The function creates a new sub-folder titled "Unused Images (xx)" where xx is simply a counter. Images are removed from the folder and backed up in the "unused" folder.
