Hi Andreas,
FWIW we're creating a project at my organization that uses that new AE
extensively and we've not seen the problem you describe. Like Eryk
pointed out the only time we don't get a project is when it hasn't
been initially saved.
In our application we're sending things to the bin regularly and can
do it multiple times without saving the project in its modified (but
having been saved in the past) state.

Thanks Eryk,
As said the "untitled" stuff is easy to understand as there is
"only" a temp file path. The other thing is very hard to reproduce
- it happens or doesn't happen (both on my machine and two other
machines outside my office).
The only random rule we figured out is that this will happen only if
the project is modified (i.e. some sequence is added) thru AE.
I have no idea what the difference is.
I can send you the app under NDA, maybe you see the same thing -
maybe not and it's a configuration thing on the machines we used to
test the app. But as said the Apple example code and our code do
give the same result (still using Tiger).
Kind regards
Andreas

Andreas,
Projects that have never been saved to a file will not be reported
in the open projects list. This is (in part) because the only way
to refer to projects via apple events is with a file path or
reference.
I have never seen the behavior you describe - i.e. projects
"disappearing" from the list. I will do some investigation, but
without a repeatable test case there is not a lot I can do.

Hi all,
Again a FCP AE question.
We are using the new "kFCPGetAllOpenProjects" call, this works
fine sometimes, sometimes not. I haven't found out a rule or
whether it's our code or not.
It always works when FCP is starting "fresh" with some project(s)
and it is always working if things are modified in FCP itself. But
it seems that sometimes if the projects are modified by AE they
are flagged as "dirty" and not included in the returned list as
well as any newly added "untitled projects" - that happens both
with the original Apple code and our own.
To try, open FCP holding down shift key and run the
"FCP_AE_Tester" - though there is an "Untitled Project 1" there is
no feedback, which is understandable as there is no "secure" saved
path where the project can be found.
But randomly - or maybe following some rules - also "real" project
paths disappear from the list.
Has anyone else made the same experience?
Thanks
Andreas
