I've not tried this more than once so far due to the excessive amount of check in/out times - see my post here. I'll obviously do some more tests on that when I upgrade the SAN and software this week.
I did need to take a project home one weekend so I checked it out with assets to my USB stick.

A couple of bits here:

When you're adding a bunch of files (eg a folder of JPEGs or WAVs) you are given the option to tag them with a description and/or keywords. I have found that you can search for those terms from the main quick search box, but you can't search for those terms AND something else.
Eg. description 'original music' AND keyword 'summer'

I guess this is linked to my next issue: Searching for multiple things in a single field.

I've got 4 more FCSvr observations to get through before I upgrade the XServes to Snow Leopard Server and put FCSvr 1.5 on them next week so I'll try and get through them all this week :)
First up: Wizards.

Why you can only create settings, watchers and devices using a simple wizard in the System Preferences, I don't know.
OK, I know that's not strictly true and you can create things in the Administration panel in the client too, but for what I want to do, it still doesn't give me any flexibility over the System Preferences.

First of all, a bit of twaddle:
For years I, like you, have sought information on the Internet from both companies and individuals. The knowledge gained has helped me reach the very fortunate position I'm in today so I thought it was about time I tried to contribute some of that back to the community. Whoever you are! That was one of the many reasons for setting up this blog and my Twitter account.

Well... its been a while but I thought I should start the year with a good news post rather than the slating of Final Cut Server that was taking place last year! So, here it is: Dropbox Genius!

I can't fix an issue if I don't know it has occured.

We had an error on our Qmaster cluster which meant that nothing was getting transcoded, I found this out after quite a backlog had built up. For a quick fix, I set FCSvr to render/transcode locally for a while until I figured out the Qmaster problem and then switched it back later.
