Restore clips

To restore all: Without selecting any rows, press Restore all.

To restore some:

1. Check the boxes at the start of the rows. The box in the heading selects them all.
2. The button becomes Restore selected. Press it.

To restore one clip: Press the ↩ button at the end of its row (“Restore this clip”).

Restored clips appear again in your library with their earlier decisions, folders, and notes. If their files haven’t moved, only the library records are restored. Merceq never overwrites another file in the original location.
