Post subject:  Renaming Video Breaks Scene

Hi,

I found today that if I rename or move a video clip after it's been tracked by iPi DMC, it will break the mocap scene fie the next time I try to open it. It would be very convenient if iPi DMC would instead report that the tracked video clip is missing or had been renamed, and then offer the user a chance to 'relink' the video. As it stands now, the scene cannot be reopened until the video is renamed to it's previous name and file location.

In version 1.0.0.107 diagnostic message is made more informative and contains file name with full path of missing video.

I hope, in future versions we'll implement "offering the user a chance to 'relink' the video" feature.

One note about video file location: in project the relative file location is saved. Thus you need to save only relative path to video rather than full one. For example:
Code:
project = C:\myFolder\coolMoCapStuff\projects\FirstTry.MoCap
video = C:\myFolder\coolMoCapStuff\video\video_2010-07-13_RAW.avi

then in project the following path to the video will be stored
Code:
..\video\video_2010-07-13_RAW.avi
