Andy, I’ve been overwhelmed with other work and have just got back to this issue. I have done a very rudimentary study of Applescripting and created a script with “set the comments of fileA to the comments of fileB” in the script editor. Created both a script save and save as application. Tried both and nothing. new spotlight comments are not applied.
I am seeing more and more using interns for what used to be a paying job. The more people do this the less chance they will be able to secure a paying gig in the future as people will see that there are lots of talented people out there who will work for free. It is working its way up the food chain as the rates of the paying jobs are going down also. Most projects lately have interns outnumbering paid people 10 to 1.
Jeremy, thanks for your help. After numerous test I’ve come to the conclusion that the problem lies with some sort of incompatibility between FCP/Kona/HVR-1500. Our M15u with FW control work great. Go figure. I’ve sent the 1500 back (we were renting) and got an M25 instead.
