Hi Peter!
It sounded familiar so I had to spend some time searching through my
brain...
You might be encountering a limitation in reconnect where Final Cut
Pro needs file extensions on the pathurls it resolves. If no pathurl
is specified in the XML, the file will be brought in offline so, FCP
will look for the extension on the <name> of the <file>. If there is
no extension specified, it can't reconnect the clips in group.
If specifying the file extension in the <file><name> doesn't resolve
your issue please write up a bug on bugreporter.apple.com and attach
or paste in the XML that is exhibiting the problem. (and let me know
so I can peek at the XML)
Thanks!

All,
Hope you can help with this...
We've got a filemaker pro database that exports via XSLT into FCP XML.
What we're trying to create in FCP is a bin with clips, set up with
IN and OUT timecode and a source filename (but not path) set. We'll
then reconnect to files on a SAN, keeping the IN and OUT. Multiple
clips reference each source file.
We're using FMPRESULT output, and the XSL is home-grown. It builds a
<bin>, not the enclosing <project>.
On import, there are no errors and the bin arrives. IN and OUT are
listed correctly by FCP. Media Start and Media End are set to the
same as IN/OUT by the XSL.
However, when we select multiple clips and reconnect, FCP identifies
the right source file but only reconnects one of the chosen clips.
The reconnect works perfectly - IN & OUT are preserved, Media Start/
End are updated etc etc. But only one file goes through.
In the XSL we allocate a different id to each <file> item (otherwise
it gives an error on import).
We also allocate different ids to each <track> in the <clipitem>,
and link them using <linkclipref>.
As I say, hope you can help
Regards
Jeremy Smith
