Hello all,
the timing might be not to fortunate for this, since FCP 7 just came
out, but here goes anyway:
If you make a new item by generating an appropriate XML doc (or by
modifying an existing item), then send that into FCP via Apple Events,
then it would be nice to select it in the browser, or load into the
viewer or canvas. The trouble is that to do either of that (again, via
AE) you need to know what project the item ended up being sent to. If
you simply send it to the frontmost project then you have no way of
knowing its filepath, which is what you'd need for the AE that selects
or loads the item. (Am I wrong about this?)
In FCP 7 you could ask for a list of all open projects, then for a
table of contents for all of those, then you could search for for the
item by uuid, and thus derive the project it lives in. It would be a
lot more straight forward if the sequence would contain a project
identifier, such as <projectURL>, wouldn't it?
What do you think of that as a feature request?
Rainer
