Re: [Avid-L2] Unity database files bug?

 

The Avid bin will always reflect the last known location of the media.

We never tried modifying the media folder name by adding anything after .#

Did you try it with a Snow Leopard system?
When you moved it to the local drive did you reconfigure the folder
structure to reflect a local drive structure (aka move the media out of
"computer name.1" folder)?

I'm use to being able to organize my media into folders and rename them and have the media be online and be able to rebuild the databases. As an example, if my system is named Avid01, the default folder in the MXF directory is Avid01.1. All my new media goes in there. But in the past, I could make other folders with names like Avid01.1_Prod_01, Avid01.1_VFX_01, etc. and it would rebuild the databases when I added media to them. But now it's stopped working. Only folders named like Avid01.2, Avid01.3, etc are being scanned. Am I the only one having this problem? Because it sucks.
