jasondunn Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 There’s a bug in the pause feature on macOS: the indexer still fires when Sync is supposed to be paused. I use Resilio Sync to keep my Final Cut Pro project folder in sync across multiple computers, and when Sync is paused globally - and I’ve confirmed I can see the pause sign across all my libraries - I still see the indexer fire. This is a problem because when it scans the Final Cut Pro project folder during the import of media, it trashes the media import process and I end up with broken files. I took me weeks to debug this, but I can replicate it every time now. The indexer is touching the imported video files before FCP can transcode them, and it makes FCP see the files as missing. The only way I can create new Final Cut Pro projects and import media is to fully exit Resilio Sync on my Mac and, import my media, shut down FCP, start up Sync, let it sync, then start FCP. This is not ideal. :-) So please make it so that when a pause is initiated, it pauses EVERYTHING including the indexer. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flomat Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 This issue eluded me for several months until I found this thread on a whim. Naturally, I had spent those months blaming FCP and/or my hard drive for seemingly corrupting everything I tried to import. Ouch! Is there any other way Sync could be made to handle indexing of these .fcpbundle files a bit more gentle, so as to prevent this symptom, and the need to pause or quit Sync in the first place?

jasondunn Posted December 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hey Flomat. I'm sorry you had to go through the same painful experience as me with trashed and corrupted FCP projects. Resilio Sync really needs to stop everything when the user selects pause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
