Export Results from Clean Up Media Tool

📋Summary

Add the ability to export the results of the Clean Up Media tool to a text file, allowing users to review and make edits without needing to keep the tool open.


❗Problem

Currently, the Clean Up Media window:

  • Cannot be minimized or left open while making changes.

  • Requires the user to close the window and rerun the scan after making adjustments (e.g., correcting filenames or relinking media).

  • Makes it difficult to manage large collections where some files are flagged as unused due to minor naming inconsistencies (like manuals or videos with variant names).


💡Proposal

Add an “Export to Text File” option within the Clean Up Media window. This export would include:

  • A list of all flagged unused files

  • Their file paths

  • Associated platform and media type (if known)

Optional additions:

  • Export formats: .txt or .csv

  • Include checkboxes or comments for user notes (if re-imported)


✅Benefits

  • Allows users to review and clean up manually without rerunning the tool

  • Simplifies identification of media with mismatched names that may still be useful

  • Saves time for users managing large or highly customized libraries

  • Improves workflow for advanced users correcting metadata or media file associations
