You can move the window separators with your mouse to make the viewer larger or smaller.

You can resize the window but their is not a full screen window button as there is on a movie. I find that it sometimes is easier to make large thumbnails for stills vs a proxy. The worker Node can make proxies of stills but you can also use the original still in certain instances if they are not too large. See the screen shot of just enlarging the window.

That show is very funny Tim, we quote that around here all the time.
“the button on the side, is it glowing?”
Jeff can you send the log to support@squarebox.com they can take a closer look.

The logs should be in App data. That does seem odd for sure.

On the CatDV server are you able to see the web client at this url?
or “hostname”:8080
In the iOS app I have not had to use the port just he IP address on several machines so give that a try if you have not already.

Good tip Bryson, also look out soon for new builds as they make refinements for iOS7.
The team has worked hard on these apps and it shows!

There is a new one Bryson it is a little buried though!

Got it I think I understand better. The FIle hash will find files with different names and though it is not full proof it would likely still be useful. Based on my estimation you have about 5-6% duplicates which in all honesty is not that bad from what I seen. One thing to keep in mind if these files will be required in the future to open a FCP session or re edit, if that is the case the time and or space saved in this process maybe lost if and when these projects are brought back to life? Also with the price of storage 150gb is probably about $10 worth of storage space plus the time to clean it up so this may cost you more in time than it does in disk space? In many of these situations there is the challenge of cleaning up the existing files and ideally putting some procedures in place to make this process easer in the future. One suggestion for making this easier moving forward is to append or prepend files exported from FCP with something indicating this is a duplicate (example M for Master and P for partial).
Hope this helps!

There are better fields in the look for similar command like File hash and clip signature among others that are useful in identifying duplicates. Also When you say a partial clip do you mean a sub-clip or another file? I realize you are on version 9 but in version 10 there is a disk space took that is really good at finding duplicates and very fast. Also in the preferences under import you can avoid duplicates on import. Hope this helps!
Here is alink that explains the clip identfiers and a screen grab of the disk space tool.

There is now a tutorial for setting this up in CatDV on the Squarebox website.
