my list is all external folders (dont have any external files), yeah its rather long, but this is the best approach I came up with, especially with the types of eda tools we use. But i suppose i could create a secondary layer instead of using relative externals.

yeah might just be easier to do this once to all of them rather than have to do this script idea at least with the true externals that aren't relative to the current wc.
