FCS Maintenance Pack 1.2.2 out now - redesigned Corrupt Clip Finder and more

Yesterday we released FCS Maintenance Pack 1.2.2. This update adds several new features, a few of which I will detail below.

Corrupt Clip Finder

Corrupt Clip Finder has a redesigned user interface and now offers more options for dealing with files once they have been found.

You can now assign a color label to corrupt files in the Finder so that they are easily recognizable, as well as quarantining them into a separate folder or moving them to the Trash. Corrupt Clip Finder now supports batch operations so these actions can be performed quickly to a large number of files.

In addition, Corrupt Clip Finder is now more tolerant of reference QuickTime movies, and will automatically close any QuickTime dialogs that pop up as a result of trying to process these files.

FCS Housekeeper

FCS Housekeeper has been greatly simplified to be more user-friendly. The new Preset drop-down at the top of the window gives you a choice of two presets.

Basic is for everyday housekeeping tasks where Final Cut Studio is not necessarily misbehaving and Comprehensive is specifically designed for troubleshooting. You can also select and deselect tasks individually.

These are just a couple of new fixes and tweaks. Here's the full changelog:

Improved Corrupt Clip Finder clip detection
Corrupt Clip Finder - Batch operations on corrupt clips are now supported
Corrupt Clip Finder - Corrupt files can now be color coded in the Finder for easy identification
Corrupt Clip Finder - UI improvements
Corrupt Clip Finder - Added a timeout to prevent reference movies with missing data from tying up the application
Path Manager - Support for Final Cut Pro user paths (read-only)
Autosave Cleaner - Added the ability to specify autosave paths manually
FCS Housekeeper - Simplified the application by adding presets for common tasks
File Salvage - Improvements in responsiveness when creating a QuickTime movie
QT Repair - UI improvements
Updated Crash Analyzer definitions
General bug fixes, tweaks and improvements

FCS Maintenance Pack is available for $129 and a 15-day trial is available which will fix many problems for free.

We're always on the lookout for feature suggestions and the changes in this release are a direct result of user feedback. So if you have a request, however important or trivial, use the Help > Suggest a Feature link in each application, contact us or send us a message on Twitter.
