Is it possible to collect all audio files without making a session copy?

Not collected but Sever Session Copy in can copy out just the files that are being used in the Timeline and not all the files in the Clip LIst

I'll take a look for that. Thanks for the tip!

very simple, don't think HDx has a shortcut for this as usual simplest things are underrated, but is tone of the common things to do doing productions:
consolidate all tracks and export as audio file, this is what i do with all my productions, you have a back up of the comping and editing session, and you can start with a clean new session, i think this way is the best, or you can upgrade to HDX and say: i have the best o the beast, but you don't have collect and save option like ABLETON LIVE has since version 7 (5 years ago)

Much research describes ''SAVE COPY IN'' as the only way to create a new session file with all audio linked.
I have tried to create a smaller session file :
New Session / Import session data / consolodate on import.
Successfull, but all clip levels corrupted. { essentially useless).

Copying my entire drive to a new drive - ejecting the original drive,
Various samples / audio lost due to file paths to original drive. ( useless).

Copy on Import setting copies the audio , seems to retain the original filepath ?

Relinking missing audio - hit and miss.
