Ableton/Live/UG/05 Managing Files and Sets/07 Collecting External Files/01 Collect Files on Export
- Collect Files on Export, in Library Settings, decides whether dependent files are copied when you drag clips, presets or tracks from a Set to the browser:
- Always, the default: copied without asking.
- Ask: choose Copy, Don't Copy or Cancel, then name the item.
- Never: original references are kept.
- One clip or preset moves at a time; several tracks can move together. A clip becomes an
.alc, tracks an .als, and copying also creates a Project folder. - The setting also applies to the Save Preset button when a preset contains samples.
