Time machine already has folder inclusions / exclusions that can be accessed in the Time Machine settings in System Preferences.
I appreciate the feedback, however I am well aware of what Time Machine can and can't be set to do. I'm saying I'd like some more advanced/granular options/controls that can be accessed, the present settings/options that are available are really pretty basic. keep the simplicity it has now for many people that's all they need but have an advanced settings option available for the rest of us.

Time Machine that doesn't back up a file all over again just because you moved it, or changed its name. That ends up wasting a huge amount of backup storage space for me. Retrospect was able to handle that 20 years ago. :rolleyes:

Maybe someone who has it could start a framerate thread, where people could post their configs and results. That would be a nice reference for those needing perf data.

Fortunately, I've only got 4 weeks left of high school, then I'm going to college after the summer break. Really looking forward to being treated more like an adult :)
Take this advise. Don't retain anything from High School. Nothing you will learn there makes any difference at all in the real world. Nothing.

I just got done reading Hackers and then Revolution in the Valley, so I recognize samcraig's complaint about a walled garden as something Apple has dealt with since its inception with the Apple ][ being Woz's exception to what soon became a standard complaint about the company.
I understand the desire to have people know how things work. That's the hacker ethic. Hackers want to understand what makes things tick. That's a very useful skill. I applaud it. As someone who knows how to fix my car, and who has put computers together, knew DOS inside and out, wrote assembler code, etc., I can relate to what is being said.
But I applaud Apple's approach. Why? Because I've seen humanity, and most people -- the vast majority -- do not want to know how things work. That itch that hackers have is not shared by most people. Does this lead to the dumbing down of society? No, society was dumb to begin with. The hackers thought they could raise society up from this level by showing them how to hack computers, but most people couldn't care less.
So what do we do with a society that does not care? The hacker says give 'em the hacking tools and let them learn anyway. Steve Jobs said, no, give them a simpler device and let it work for them.
Do you insist that you know how to fly a plane, or do you get on a commercial airliner and get the benefit of flying without having to hack a plane's engine? Does this dumb down society?
Do you insist on completing your medical degree to care for your body, or do you go to the doctor and let him hack your health? Does this dumb down society?
So why must we insist that Macbooks be completely open, or that the Mac App Store be wide open to anyone who wants to put whatever junk they want inside? The walled garden approach taken by Apple (and almost everything else in our society -- TV, book publishing, sports teams, you name it) is a recognition that we are all different, not everyone wants to hack things, some people simply want to use a tool to do whatever appeals to them.
I'd rather live in a world where Apple creates powerful but simple devices that empower even the tech illiterate, than to live in a world of complicated devices that only a small percentage dare to use. The hackers will always be among us, and hackable devices will always be with us, so don't complain about one company that decided to market to the other 90% of humanity in ways that please the customer very much.

Since FCP will be editing everything natively (and I assume that means all sorts of AVCHD files), ironically that means many of us won't need the super high speed Thunderbolt drives.
AVCHD files top out at 24 Mbps (or thereabouts), and since this is around the bitrate of DV, ye olde FW800 drives should be fine for external storage. Internal storage should be fine - 10 hours of footage will only take 130 GB or so.
i don't really see TB as a need (atm) for faster transport speeds, i see it as a "hub" that can take any external devise and send it down the same pipe, eventually eliminating usb 2/3, esata, firewire. of course this magic breakout box i speak of doesn't exist yet :)
my pocket drive has firewire, usb and esata connects. remove all for a TB, cost goes down.
opens the door for uncompressed or "less compressed" video formats, more color space, etc.

Figures this would come a month after I buy a new phone with a 2 yr. contract. Ugh.
lol ! guys, stay away from those rip-off contracts ! STAY FREE !!!
sure your phone will cost you a bit more, but hey, the price of freedom ! Screw the service providers.

not going to search for the comment, which the comment i've quoted here was a reply to, but basically the commenter was saying how stupid it is for people to speculate on an unannounced, rumored product...
It was my comment. I was not commenting about the speculation in this thread, but rather commenting on the posters who essentially claimed that apple was the most unethical company based on some of the speculation in this thread. Speculation is okay. It's fun, and that's what macrumors Is for. I just found it hilarious that some took such an indignant moral stance on apple based on that speculation. That is what I found stupid, not the speculation.
it would make sense for an announcement to come at WWDC I highly doubt this. Apple was quite unequivocal that wwdc was going to be about the future of iOS and Mac os x. The one way I can see this happening is if its part of a much larger OS level push into the cloud.

Again, he should have called the police. What should she be charged with? Is she or is she not the victim of attempted murder?
Let me bold the part of my post that answers your question :
Both should be thrown in jail and left to rot. Unfortunately there's no law against stupid so only the guy will get his day in court.
Why ask me something I've already answered ? Want to argue around in circles ? I find she's a victim of her own stupidity mostly, if anything.
And please use multi-quote Skunk. Forum rules and all...

If Apple thought this product was actually a big leap, they wouldn't have to announce it in front of a group of fans. I would have like to see them demo the software at the editors guild or have some editors who have used it.
Im sure it will be a great consumer product, but so far there is nothing to say that it is revolutionary or that it's even a good choice for content creation.
What does it feel like to be a complete and utter idiot? I just wanna know because I find the mindset of people like you fascinating.

You just had to bring up the Rugby World Cup, didn't you? :mad: We were robbed! Robbed, I tell you!!
And you've been told to turn your radio off? Call him un-English. That's an Australian thing that politicians use whenever people don't agree with them "To disagree would be un-Australian". Our Prime Minister is the top candidate of this phrase.
And Warne is doing very well but I still think he is a wanker.
It is very un-english. I've shut the door so he can't hear it ;).
Re rugby world cup: C'mon - we have to win sometimes! My girlfriend is from Bris-Vegas, so internationals are always good for some banter. Can't be too rude though, I'm heading out there at Christmas and she may leave me in the bush somewhere....
Currently 46/0.

Oooh.... dangerous territory. I wouldn't call engineer 'types' uncreative. Very unwise.
But look guys, Calm Down. There is no right solution for the 'professional' editor. Walter Murch, one of the best narrative film editors in the world, cuts on Final Cut Pro. Thelma Schoonmaker, often considered THE best editor in the world (if such hierarchy has any plausibility), cuts on a beta release of Lightworks. Anything that 'does the job' can therefore be considered 'professional grade software'. I find it hard to believe that some people here can't see Final Cut X being used by the most talented and serious professionals.

Sigh,
Can we get some MAC rumors this is absolutely ridiculous, the mac mini and iMac are over due for updates and you still prune the web for the smallest hint about a product that has just been re-released.
I realize your trying to generate traffic but this is getting increasingly low.
The front page is filled with iOS information and a little on FCP and the new Adobe suite.
Where are the MAC rumors. :mad:
Seems like a slow rumor time all the way around.... but I'm sure there will be tons of good ones soon as the WDC heats up. I would think with Lion coming, WDC could bring us some new Macs too.

Based on murmurings and mooings on the pro sites, I reckon Apple will lose some customers to Avid, if they had originally come from Avid some time in the last 10 years. They're talking about going back to Avid, not to Avid...Funny how Avid announced the $995 upgrade to MC from FCP just days before FCPX was demoed :)
I used both professionally and cant wait to see how Avid reacts with version 6 :)
I also reckon every kid who has used iMovie in the last few years will start using FCP X in about July. This is the next generation of video editors, and they will far outnumber Avid users. They will be making movies for web distribution. They will be flooding the film schools. They will also have the mad skillz (look at me, sounding like a teenager :D) to turn things over really quickly, something which is appreciated in today's editing environment.
They said the same thing about Graphic Design, 3D (Gaming and SFX) and Web-Authoring. Once these options were easily available to the kids in high-school, a lot of us thought that the market would be saturated.
Ive had the task of interviewing and working with the younger gens for the past 10 years. I also get to teach them at local college.
Old or new, they all have to apply for a job.
From my experiences the older gen has been networking longer and gets first dibs on most projects :)
Apple has built FCP X for people who have never used film and probably never will so the metaphor needed to go. Bye-bye bins, hello "smart folders". And a big hello to the do-deca-core, 8TB, 32GB Mac Pro everyone can now justify purchasing.Great! Now I can use the 32GB of RAM Ive loaded in all our 12core MP's ;)
