ID 376555 - Match Media function does not review Project bin for existing footage

Follow

Problem summary
When using the "Match Media" function within NukeStudio, the function does not review the Project for already existing files, thus creating duplicates.

This can cause clips to be renamed, thus breaking existing Sequences.
​​
Steps to reproduce

1)  Open NukeStudio/Hiero

2) Import an XML/EDL/AAF file through the Project Window

3) Select the imported Sequence and use the "Match Media" function within the Spreadsheet window

4) Remove the Sequence

5) Re-import the XML/EDL/AAF file into the project

6) Select the new imported Sequence and use the "Match Media" function within the Spreadsheet window

Result: NukeStudio will not check the current project

Workaround
Middle mouse drag the existing Footage files over the "Match Media" function:
