Thanks, Dafydd & Carl, this rhymes more or less with what I knew -- may be helpful to other users as well. I know the issue has been discussed several times. The autokey solution has been downloaded > 1000 times. That should be a hint to Cyberlink that these usability issues should have been addressed long time ago (six years!!). Wow.

Thanks, I think I see your point, seems like a legacy burden too me. Anyways, as a mininum suggestion: SHFT-scrollwheel should be bound to horizontal scrolling--- this is an expected and standard key binding. I've been trying to adapt over a couple of paid versions of the program. I'm still not there 
Cheers

The zooming of the timeline is confusing -- I always loose my bearings b/c of poor visual feedback about time scale. Also, I haven't found a keyboard shortcut to reset the timeline to fit.
To avoid zooming, I'd really like to use the mouse wheel to just manipulate the buttom horizontal slider. to go forward or backward in time!!!
Or keys or anything, except for mousing to the far-away slider itself. Bizarrely, the mouse wheel is bound so as to scroll the track lists vertically --- a function I've never needed. Shift-mouse wheel doesn't work. I must be overlooking something really simple?
Also, I can't figure out how to easily move the time marker by frame, second, minute according to keyboard shortcuts. There's a mechanism called "seek by" to change the meaning of "," and "." keys. That introduces a hidden mode (the little decoration of the seek symbols is not helpful). This violates a key tenet of UI design, but worse, I don't like it at all!!
Why can't I use various modifier combinations of the arrow keys to seek? Strangely, it appears the arrow keys are not bound to anything at all.
Thanks for tips or help!

Yes, I'm with Keglined: this happened to me, too, during "Pack Project Materials", at same stage.
I've just bought PD 12 (12.0.2420), first time user. The program crashes often.
For this particular crash, I restarted the PD and deleted an existing file in the folder I had chosen in the pop-up dialog. This time the "pack" command worked, don't know why.
In any case, the folder selection dialogue is primitive, from some earlier century version of Windows. This part of the code seems ripe for a little attention by a programmer?? Hopefully the fruit of this can be included in an update to PD 12.
