Minor irritant

[Eric Emerick]

A small bug resulting in more of an irritation that anything else: I cannot un-mount my SSD from my Retina MBP (REDMag 1.8") while FCPX is running, I have to quit FCPX first, even after all the importing is finished.

Are you unounting using the red watchdog?

 

[Eric Emerick]

No.

 

[Richard Luke]

FCPX won't allow any external drives to be ejected while its open

 

[paul schefz]

are you sure you are done importing? fcpx will import in the background while you are working (which usually slows down the import a little)....check your activity, it will show there....

Not true. I just did it... try using RED Watchdog.

 

[Eric Emerick]

OK, just tried using RedWatchdog, same problem. It's prob. a FCPX issue.

 

[Terry VerHaar]

Can't be an FCPX issue if I can repeatedly do it over and over on my Mac Pro. :-(

You sure you are finished importing?

 

[Richard Luke]

Not true. I just did it... try using RED Watchdog.

That is strange... I've never been able to unmount any external with FCPX open it always says the volume is in use even if there are no files on it. Interested to find out this one

My experience is the same as Richard's, I can't eject any drive while FCPX is open, even using Watchdog. Using 10.8.2 & FCPX 10.6 on a 15" Retina MBP. Watchdog is up to date as well. The drives are: 1 USB 3.0, 1 Pegasus RAID 5 via Thunderbolt, 1 RAID 0 via Thunderbolt, and 1 REDMAG SSD via USB 3.0.

I am on a Mac Pro 5,1 running 10.8.2. All RED software is up to date. FCPX is 10.0.6. I can mount the REDmag, scrub around in the FCP-X import box, then unmount the drive with RED Watchdog and, poof, the images disappear as the disk is unmounted. REDmag Reader is mounted via FireWire 800. Perhaps that's the difference?
