Apple Final Cut Server 1.5 - Manual (Page 23)

Important: Changing the cache location will result in all current caches becoming
unavailable.
• Maximum Cache Size: Enter a value to define a maximum cache size.
• Current Cache Size: This shows the current size of the cache.
• Clear Cache: Click Clear Cache to delete all caches from the cache location.
• Saved aliases for prepared media files: Click the Choose button to select a location to
use for storing aliases to cache files. This location is used when you choose the Prepare
for Disconnected Use option for assets.
Note: Client computer assets that Final Cut Server manages are stored in the location
specified as the Cache Location. This location is intended to only be used by
Final Cut Server, and so it can be difficult to locate assets in it. The Prepare for
Disconnected Use option creates aliases to the assets in the cache, making it much
easier to add them to Final Cut Pro projects when you are not connected to
Final Cut Server.
• Clear Aliases: Click Clear Aliases to delete all aliases from the alias location.
• Disable Resource Fork Warning: Select this checkbox to turn off Disable Resource Fork
error messages.
• Use Generic thumbnail for Productions: Select this checkbox to display a generic
production icon to represent a production. By default, a still image contained in a
production is displayed on the production thumbnail and in List view.
Administrator-Only Client Functions
In addition to the Administration window, there are other Final Cut Server client functions
that can only be performed by a user logged in with administration privileges.
