Summary

This pull request introduces a new feature based on Issue #5663. It allows users to send a clip from the timeline back to the Project Files pane, either through a right-click action or future drag-and-drop support. This enhancement improves project organization and workflow by making it easier to reuse timeline clips.

Changes Introduced

  • Added a placeholder method send_timeline_clip_to_project_files() in main_window.py
  • The method checks if the clip’s source path exists in the Project Files pane and adds it if it doesn't
  • Prints messages to console for testing feedback

Notes

  • This is the initial logic setup. Integration with UI components (e.g., right-click context menu) will follow in future updates.
  • Prevents duplicate entries in the Project Files pane

Testing

  • Manually triggered the method using a test clip object
  • Verified that new entries are added and duplicates are ignored
