We've just rehung the FOH bridge, in consequence of which our Rep plot showfile (and all its children) are now inaccurate (pending a repatch, which we're probably not going to do*; there are only about 3 persistent children we care about, and it was time to clean those up too).
This leads me to the questions:
1) Can I batch move shows into a subfolder named (Don't Copy Out without Cleaning Up)?
2) When we create our new grandparent show file, can we mark it read only, so people *have* to save child showfiles with a new name?
3) Is there a really good treatment of how Save handles where it's going to put the file -- in the Show Archive, or in a subfolder thereof? This is one of the least intuitive parts of the UI, for me; I can almost never figure out where it's going, something not helped by it asking for the filename *before* it shows you where it's going.
And
4) When I build a look with submasters, are the subs recorded in the cue, or the channels they contain? On a Smartfade, if I build a submaster with 3 channels and stack it, the *sub* is in the stack, and if I put it 5 places, and then change the sub, all 5 change. Does EOS work that way too?

* Part of the motivation for the rehang was to give me a better collection of specials at FOH (thanks, boss), so more thought went into this one than previously.
