Log and Transfer double dipping
I went 1000 deep in the L & T thread and didn’t see this addressed. If it has been please refer.
Setting up a queue of shots to be transferred off a P2 card, I pick ins and outs for all clips, then select the ones I want to transfer, then start the queue.
FCP (6.06 with 10.4 Powerbook) goes through the list once top to bottom, then inexplicably, transfers all the shots again adding a new number to the title of each shot. So I’m getting two copies of every shot listed in my project and recorded to Capture Scratch. One has my original title and then there’s a title1 copy.
Aside from the waste of disc space which I can’t afford, I’m losing time cleaning the duplicates out of the project and cs disc.
Is there a setting I’ve tripped somewhere that is instructing two copies be imported? Pretty frustrating. Help appreciated.

Unless you inadvertently double-clicked the button, this shouldn’t happen. Trash prefs and repair permissions and see if that helps. Does the number of clips in the queue affect whether you get two copies or not? Does it double transfer with just one clip in the queue?

Thanks for your reply.
I’ll remember to hit the Start Queue button only once. In retrying transfers I noticed I was not apt to do that but I’ll keep it in mind.
I tried transferring a single clip, and then two clips, and both went through normally, just once. I find the double copies are happening when there are 20 to 50 clips on a card. I haven’t escalated a few clips at a time to see where this kicks in but it does seem to be in transfers with quite a few clips.
I fussed a bit with Prefs and Permissions. The former seems pretty straight forward, the latter I may not completely understand as regards FCP as an application. I’m more used to Permissions being applied to files being shared or released.
Tried transferring the whole card and again got doubles with FCP adding higher numbers if there was a numeral at the end of a clip and a numeral beginning with “1” if the clip name ended in text.
EXAMPLE: Tracking With Carl 1 gets doubled as Tracking With Carl 2
and Carl Slo Mo gets doubled with Carl Slo Mo1 Instead of two files transferred I get four.?????
