Link Media popup appears, despite the media is already linked

[meett9325076]

Hello All,

I am trying to rename and then relink a file which is already imported in premiere pro using below code:

cep.fs.rename(oldPath, newPath);
projectItem.changeMediaPath(newPath);

The file is renamed and relinked successfully. New file path being reflected in the Proerties of the project item. However, I still get the Link Media popup for that project item which is a bit strange to me:

Is this a bug in premiere pro? Any help would be appreciated.

Premiere Pro Version: 9.0.0
Extension Type: Panel

Thanks & Regards,
Meet Tank

Hi Meet,

have you tested this with video files as well, not only image files?

I have a very similar arrangement and it's working beautifully so far (only tested with video files).

Hello e.d.

I have tested with video files and the Link Media popup also appears to them. Is there any configuration in premiere pro for Link Media popup?

Thanks,
Meet

Hi Meet,

to my knowledge this popup suppression is only available with the app.openDocument() function (see here), but not with rootItem.changeMediaPath (see here).

Hi e.d.

The popup appears when the premiere pro is refreshed (refocused) after changing the media path.

Thanks,
Meet
