Anybody’s software update repeatedly showing 10.1 instead of 10.1.1, even though 10.1 is installed?

NIce to see them following up the release like they did with Logic. Very good!

I was getting performance drops via NFS vs AFP, so we actually decided that NFS either is still being worked on by Apple (which is why they didn’t enable it by default) or they’re just walking away from it with no real support moving forward. In either case, it wasn’t something I wanted to build a workflow around.

Here’s an example, I had a TON of footage on my home system from random little shoots at family events in Hawaii, Georgia, California, etc. I made a library called ‘Georgia’, and then created events for things like “Thanksgiving 2012, Thanksgiving 2013, and so on.
I also had a library called ‘Random’ for just smaller non-specific shoot elements. On my home system, all media is stored inside libraries instead of leaving in a 3rd location. When I realized that I had put an event in the Random library called ‘Georgia Family visit’, I decided that event would be better served in the “Georgia’ library. Moving that event to a different library (and all associated media with it) was so so easy. I just dragged and copied the event in question to the Georgia library and deleted from the Random library.
I like the option – if you don’t, just select all the events and then ‘merge’ events. That’s how we do it at work.

You know what I just thought about Bob? We could have set our mount point in NFS manager to be ONLY the subfolders I use for Libraries and not the whole dang RAID. This would give us the benefits of NFS mounting and still kept iTunes over NAS on AFP, After Effects wouldn’t have face melted on renders to the NAS, and my overall speeds would have been fine.
That solution would still result in slower FCPX connection to the Library, but the media kept in a different location would still get the benefit of AFP’s faster speeds, so that might actually work.
