[Jeremy Garchow] “You will be able to use Tags as “To Do” items for other people like, “please ingest this stuff” or “this stuff has already been imported”.”
I suppose I’d be dreaming for FCPX to automatically import a specific tag. Wouldn’t that be something – like a smart folder on steroids.

[Charlie Austin] “You could probably make smart folders to “collect” tags too… hold on..Yep… ya sure can. That’s gonna be real useful…”
So probably I’ll want “client/network” and “current” as tags. Man, that’ll be so sweet to not have to share direct links with colleagues specific file locations over the network.
If done correctly, the entire process of file organization in folders could become obsolete. I don’t think I’d want one huge folder of everything, but the somewhat laborious process of having a hundred different folders for all the various types of media could become less important. I don’t want a gigantic mess with or without tags, but this requires some serious thought on implementation.
I don’t think I’ll be rolling out Mav’s on the work systems just yet. Probably will hold off until I get delivery notifications on the two mac pros we’re (hopefully) going to be able to order next week. If they even arrive by Thanksgiving I’ll be…..um….thankful. That would also give time for a 10.9.1 update.

I’m up to date. I just have to sign in to my wife’s account and delete the color labels she had going and start fresh with tags. Probably a complete system wipe wouldn’t hurt….

I did -sorry I was distracted by the Xbox :). Yeah, that’s simple enough on shared systems where no particular user has ownership. Odd though, some of the files I dropbox tagged last night didn’t come across to a different computer with dropbox also on it. Not quite sure why…

[Bill Davis] “But I can also easily see 10,000 shops using the color RED to indicate 5,000 different things.”
Yep. That’s kind of why I started this thread. I’d like to see how others intend to approach tags. Obviously without FCPX 10.1 in hand, we’ve no idea exactly how Finder tags will interact with X, but I think it should be interesting and it would be great to develop a workflow to take advantage of tags.
Part of me wants to really implement this like crazy – and then I go into our older mac and select red, and half a dozen random files that were labeled the color red in Mountain Lion on my wife’s account show up, and it makes no sense. PLUS, you’re going to run out of colors really fast, so red is going to end up being half a dozen different things no matter what approach you take – assuming you get really serious about tags.
I do wonder if Tags are going to be one of those concepts that rolls out in Mavs, but won’t really get powerful until OSX 11 “Fresno”.

I’ve had good results with the toshiba Canvio’s. I think the 3TB you can get from Best Buy for $100 if you show them the price on Amazon.
Probably would have been more useful if I had told you that before 9pm :). Blame my Merlot!

Chris, google Apple iTunes Download and download/install iTunes that way. It’ll work after that. Also might look into OTA updates – they’re pretty great. Don’t forget to turn on automatic app updates in the iTunes store preferences.
