[Robert Krueger] “Is there a way to find out by looking into the project file? “
If there are content created dates that might help narrow down what version range it could be. That would say a lot.

Don’t be hard on yourself, I’m going on five years of using this thing and I still have forehead slapping moments several times a week.
This one gets filed under them solving a problem nobody I know of asked to be solved.

Is this checked in your preferences? It may be mistakenly removing the audio on import. I leave it unchecked.

also in the duplicated copy of the library you can search for ‘flexo’ and delete the flexolibrary. That can become corrupt.

How far back are we talking? There were major changes at 10.0.3 that made updating projects tricky.

Hello The Dude,
My setup is I keep my libraries on my internal SSD as it’s the fastest drive I have, but I put my cache on an external 1TB SSD drive via Thunderbolt. My media is on a Promise R4 Thunderbolt RAID
I do a lot of optical flow and sometimes those analysis files can get huge and bog down the system while being made so keeping them off the system drive is helpful.
The main reason I would say to have footage playback on one drive and export projects to another drive is if the drives are single platter drives. In that case one will be reading and the other will be writing your export. In this case separate drives do help.

[Andrew Kimery] “That’s the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. Other than just a bigger number for marketing reasons.”
In order to get a ‘retina’ display at a simulated 1440 with 4:1 pixels you need it to be 5K. A UHD 4K monitor is only “Retina” in a 1080 view setting.

[Andrew Kimery] “while kill the ThB one now and point people towards LG as opposed to rolling out a 5K monitor as part of a across the board hardware refresh w/ThB 3?”
Selling a display that isn’t a direct 1:1 match to their best iMacs is possibly why.
The other thing is the LG panel that display uses may not be available anymore. The Monoprice display that used them was also discontinued months ago.
The 5K iMac was a stopgap product anyway seeing how they had to invent a proprietary hardware device to get the 5K feed from the GPU because the display protocol wasn’t ready yet.

[Andrew Kimery] “Apple was still selling monitors?”
Ha!
Yes, really really old ones.

[Oliver Peters] “Even if there are plenty of nMP sales, that’s still not enough to warrant a separate production run of displays. Just pass that off to LG.”
The other possibility is that since they are making 5K iMacs with a special interface device to connect to the logic board, to bring an external display to market with the same screen they need thunderbolt 3 to drive a 5K monitor.
If they do come out with a new display, the holdup was probably Thunderbolt 3.
Since there aren’t any macs available at this time that can run a 5K external display, that might mean something is coming.
