Browse sources

  • First go back to the top level of the project, where the sidebar shows Days, Scenes, Shots etc.
  • Tap/click Sources in the sidebar
  • This lists the sources attached to your project, e.g. cloud services and network disks
  • Tap/click a source (e.g. TC Dailies) to browse its folders and files directly
  • The list shows folders first, followed by files
  • Tap/click a folder, e.g. A (2016-11-01), to open it, or a file to view it
  • Sources will sync automatically, but you can also trigger syncing manually by tapping/clicking B (the ⟳ button)

Tips

  • Browsing sources is especially useful when metadata hasn’t arrived yet. Until it does, browsing by day, scene, shot or tag won’t find anything, but the files themselves are already there.
  • The top of the list shows when Oropod last synced the source. If Oropod couldn’t import one or more report files, it shows how many plugin errors it ran into instead. With a mouse or trackpad, hover over it to see which formats failed
