Thanks Helena,
Pete told me some time ago that this would not work and so I asked
again.
Now I tried it step by step again and indeed it works.
There was an error in my code which caused my app not to wait (try)
long enough i.e. until xml import has finished.
Many thanks
Andreas

Hi Andreas!
I'm a little confused. When you pass FCP a valid UUID in XML, and
tell us to add a item with that UUID, we use the one you provide.
Here's how I tested it out:
1. make a new sequence
2. export XML for that sequence
(it had
<uuid>60DE7A38-9997-41B7-8F4C-51C5B115A510</uuid>
3. taking XML, I modified the uuid to
<uuid>60DE7A38-9997-41B7-8F4C-51C5B115A511</uuid>
(since it by default has the updatebehavior to add I didn't touch
that)
4. import modified XML
5. export XML for both sequences
I see that I have two sequences with the following two uuids:
<uuid>60DE7A38-9997-41B7-8F4C-51C5B115A510</uuid>
<uuid>60DE7A38-9997-41B7-8F4C-51C5B115A511</uuid>
So I could then send an Apple Event to open either the original or
the modified sequence.
Is this the behavior you're expecting? Or something different?
Cheers,
Helena

Hi all,
I know I've asked that some time ago, but maybe something has
changed and I did miss it.
Using FCP AE I can read a project into my app select a sequence
(or get a modified version XML live). If I modify the sequence and
send it back to the FCP project I could add a new UUID to it. But
obviously FCP is still creating it's own UUIDs during import and
so I can't use the "kFCPOpenItemInProject" as I don't know the UUID.
The only option I currently see is to send two sequences: the
original one with an "add" flag (so I forget the UUID) and the new
one with a "replace" and the same UUID as the original one. I
haven't tested that and I hope there is an easier way.
Thanks
Andreas
P.S.
Sure I can get the complete project in again, but that wouldn't
be helpful at all.
