User-Configurable Preference Settings

In addition to Final Cut Server System Preferences and the Preferences pane of the client’s
Administration window, there is a third set of preferences for users to customize how
Final Cut Server works for them. These preferences only affect a user when using a
particular client on a particular computer. (If the user logs in to a client on a different
computer, the user’s preference settings do not follow.)

To open the user preference settings
Do one of the following:

µ

Choose Final Cut Server > Preferences.

µ

Choose Preferences from the Server pop-up menu (the pop-up menu in the Final Cut Server
main window that appears when you click the Server button).

The user Preferences window contains the following settings:

Maximum # of Search Results: Enter a value that is the maximum number of items that

appear after a search.

Items Per Page: Search results are divided into pages to make viewing more efficient.

You can enter a value that defines how many items appear on each page.

Remember the last search: Select this checkbox to have Final Cut Server remember and

run the last search that you performed the next time you log in.

Save cached files to: Click the Choose button to select a location to use for storing your

caches. The default locations are /username/Library/Caches/ when running the client
on a Macintosh computer and the
C:\username\AppData\Roaming\com.apple.FinalCutServer\cache directory on a Windows
computer. In both cases, the cache files are located in a folder at this location with the
name of the server computer.
