clips and projects listed in library and not in event?

Might you have accidentally hit a delete key while a keyword collection or event was selected? I’d go to the backup.

The event and smart/keyword collections are still present, just no clips when I click on the event or smart/keyword collections attached to the event.

Everything is still there if I select the library icon.

Perhaps some kind of partial Library corruption?

Are you sure nothing is typed into the search field- that will make the event appear to be empty.

Sigh… slinks away…

Perhaps an indication I have been working too long?

Nah. Welcome to the club. In the early versions you could even have a space in the search field. So it LOOKED empty. I drove myself crazy with that one time. Finally I deleted the space and there were my clips. None of which had a space in the name apparently.

But of course, then there’s always this:

I always thought a better behavior would be to show all items if a search resulted in showing nothing. Cuz really- what good does showing nothing do?

Really? But then don’t you think people would be asking themselves “What do these have to do with my search term?”? I mean, I don’t know anywhere where it works that way (e.g. Finder), so that would be rather unique and probably even more confusing behavior, no?

But then maybe they thought “Do we just show everything… or tell them that nothing matches?” and thought the latter makes more sense, albeit any possible PEBKAC situations. ;-D

Oh yeah the current behavior is definitely more consistent from an engineering/OS perspective. I just think that if I’m searching for media— and I always am when looking into the browser— I’m always looking for media that seeing all my media is much more useful than seeing none.

With one scenario I have a decent chance of spotting what I’m after or at least redoing my search to catch the right parameter. With the other, I’m confirming only that my search parameters don’t match a single clip. Which is interesting but not very useful to speeding my editorial workflow. But this is just my opinion…
