Exporting Region Groups
To export a region group:
1 Select one or more region groups in the Re-
gion List.
2 From the Region List pop-up menu, choose
Export Region Groups. The Export Region
Groups dialog opens.

auto-created Region Groups folder in the session
folder. You can change the Destination Direc-
tory by clicking the Choose button, navigating
to the desired location, and clicking Choose.
Click Reset to reset the Destination Directory to
the default location.
4 Enable one of the following options for resolv-
ing duplicate region group file names:
• Prompting for Each Duplicate (default)
• Auto Renaming

Exporting Region Groups to Another Hard Drive
Generally, if you are exporting region groups to
another hard drive, you should copy any refer-
enced audio files. This way you can move region
groups not only from one session to another,
but from one system to another.
To export a region group to a different hard drive
and include its audio files:
1 Export one or more region groups to the de-
sired drive.
2 Create a new session on the new drive.
3 Choose Setup > Preferences.
4 In the Preferences dialog, click the Processing
tab and select Automatically Copy Files on Im-
port.
5 Click OK to close the Preferences dialog.
6 Import all previously exported region groups
by dragging and dropping them into the ses-
sion.
The audio files folder of the new session now
contains all files referenced by the region
groups.

browsers, refer to the DigiBase Guide.
