X-Files Pro Public Beta

[James Cude]

Looks like a great util. I would recommend a slight name change to avoid any trouble from the folks over at Fox though…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X-Files

[Andreas Kiel]

there shouldn’t be any conflict using that name. i’ve read some legal stuff.
the app has nothing in common with scifi (i hope — ask apple about x files), i’m not selling mugs or t-shirts etc.
in case there would be problems, i will change the name to fcp x-files.

I downloaded, installed, and launched the X-Files Pro Public Beta. It displayed my external FW800 drives in its “Final Cut Pro X Volumes” window, which shows 8 drives (7 of which are “True” for FCP X; the other drive is my Time Machine backup drive).

However, all menu choices in the “Events & Projects” menu pull-down are disabled (greyed out). This is still true if I select a drive in the “Volumes” window.

How do I manage Events and Projects?
==============================

Suggestion: Don’t use Command+P for the “Manage Events & Projects” command. That shortcut is widely used for “File > Print.”

Thanks,

Hi all,

The correct version is back on the server.
