likely the search was saved in the local config file catdv.prefs or catdv.preferences depending on age / OS search your timemachine for that and you can import the prefs to get your old setting back

Hi Andrew

a catdv proxy file just needs to be either a jpg or h264 mp4 file and to be placed in the correct part of the proxy directory

so if we have an original after effects project at /Volumes/my_drive/My_folder/my_afx_prjoect.aep

and we make a still of the first frame and save it as a jpeg to

/Volumes/CatDV_Proxies/Volumes/my_drive/My_folder/my_afx_prjoect.jpg

then clicking on the aep in catdv will show the jpg still

if we were to render out the whole project asan h264 mp4 file called my_afx_prjoect.mp4 and place this at

/Volumes/CatDV_Proxies/Volumes/my_drive/My_folder/my_afx_prjoect.mp4

then instead of the still you would play the movie as the proxy in the desktop or web clients

you would need to either make the files manually
or
create a worker action or custom action In the Catdv Pegasus Desktop client to make these files for you if you wanted to build an automation

hi Brad

at the moment there aren’t the mechanisms In the web client to allow this but it’s been added as a feature request for future development and may be included in a future release

hi

I can highly recommend beyond compare as a file comparison tool it available on pc mac and linux will compare folders and can handle comparing filenames with different extensions

You can even compare 2 folders and merge into a 3rd

you can see more about the features here

I hope this helps you achieve your aims

good luck Dougal

hi Alex

you need to supply address and port

so if your ip was 192.168.1.2 and your catdv webserver was running o nthe default port 8080

you’d need to use 192.168.1.2:8080

or if you had a hostname of catdvserver

you’d use catdvserver:8080

there’s also some good guidance on the panel here which may be useful

hi Lindsay

A Multi Grouping would allow you to select multiple values

Multi Grouping

Similar to grouping except that the clip can be tagged with any number of values from a list, for example a list of keywords.

When tagging a clip, start typing in the field to display the first matching keyword then use the Up and Down arrows to view other matches. Press comma (,) to start a new keyword or click on the asterix (*) button to display a chooser dialog.
