Does Every Project Really Have To Load Before I Can View The Project List?

[Dave Brandt]

Hi Kevin,

I wasn’t aware that the images don’t shrink. To be honest the situation hasn’t come up as I usually don’t delete anything from the client image. I guess in the old days I used to delete captured footage and archive to tape but those days are long gone now.

I usually just drag the image from the work drive to the backup drive. I don’t create a new image, but if i wanted to shrink that would be the way.

as far as mounting I just double click the image in the finder, and to unmount i eject just like a cd or any other installer image etc.

hope that helps

Just found that you can compact a sparse image using terminal

“Similarly, a .sparseimage file that has expanded in size but then had files deleted, can be “compacted” to a smaller size with the following command:
hdiutil compact MyFile.sparseimage”

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_image

Is this problem reallated to my problem that sometimes when you in Event Library scroll, scimming och chose a clipp, it can take ages for the action to apper in the viewer.

So if I wait about very long time after started FCP X.
Scimming and other actions will be incredibla fast.
