Thanks.I would just like to suggest the possibility of being able to choose a path for the final report, or to choose a more conventional one (documents?, desktop?.. ). I find it a bit odd to save the report in an path in opt/autodesk/proyects/. But, it’s only imho.

I miss a tool in flame to collect media to do things like that. I have been thinking for some time about a tool to open xml’s, and consolidate only footage used, in local, from external hard disks. In a way, this is pretty much the same idea. I opened [this thread](https://forum.logik.tv/t/a-little-request-for-python-magicians-a-consolidating-tool-for-xmls/6811) about it. I have a few lines of code that open an xml, and generate a list of unique paths of footagel. But my poor knowledge doesn’t allow me to go any further.

It’s just something I’m saying for anyone who wants to hear and finds it interesting.
