Soo. I went ahead and created an Ftrack Slack User Group. However there's this small problem I haven't realized till now. Slack is not very good with public access, so every person needs to get an invite (or be within a specific domain, which is even worse).
There is this lovely service called slackin, but that of course needs to run on something. 
Right now I'm ok with just sending out invites like crazy if anyone asks here to get it going. Theoretically as it grows this won't be an issue, because any member can send an invite. It'll just be a bit of a hassle at the beginning.
Maybe ftrack guys would be interested in hosting this tiny slackin service, to make it easier?
 
Anyways
the address is: ftrackusers.slack.com
Come join the party... (it's very, very lonely right now  )

Hi,
We have just added a new "Clone review session" feature to client reviews in ftrack 3.3.17. Cloning review session will allow you to carry over the collaborators from one review session to the next, making it a lot easier to work with reoccurring review sessions with the same collaborators. Hosted sites will be upgraded to this version during the next week. More information is available in the release notes for 3.3.17.
We still have more plans to further improve the workflow when inviting collaborators to review sessions going forward. Please let me know what you think; does the new feature implemented work for your use cases, or do you need anything more?
Regards,
Lucas

Hi everyone! 
I'm writing here to let you know that we are working on some changes to make Connect easier to extend and develop plugins for.  Some of you I've already been in contact with but I would love to hear the feedback and opinions from the Community.
We have a lot of ideas that we want to implement in Connect but the plan is to start out by tackling two common issues:
Extending and modifying the environment and command when an application starts from Connect. Adding hooks to Connect without modifying the FTRACK_EVENT_PLUGIN_PATH. The way we intend to solve this is:
Emit an event every time an application is launched from Connect. The event will contain application identifier, context, command and options that contain the environment variables. Here you will be able to make changes to environment variables, command and options. This should allow a lot of flexibility without having to override the built-in hook it-self. A platform dependent default directory from where plugins can be discovered without modifications to FTRACK_EVENT_PLUGIN_PATH. E.g. on OS X it would be something like /Users/mattiaslagergren/Library/Application Support/ftrack-connect-plugins/. We also intend to give the option set an environment variable so that you can centralise the plugins to one directory that everyone in the studio reads from. Connect will pick up plugins from both places.

Hi Jack,
 
 
Agree, we're working on adding checklists/todo's, and your attached screenshot is very close to what we're working on right now.
 
We have a similar discussion in this topic : http://forum.ftrack.com/index.php?/topic/24-status-on-notes/ (I will merge this topic with that one)
 
Thanks,
Fredrik

Hi,
 
the current bookmark system does simply store link to specific pages ignoring any selected views or filters.
 
I think that being able to bookmark the whole combination of the page and the specific view/filter currently selected would greatly improve the navigation.
 
For instance looking at the main Shots page, I may have a bookmark pointing directly to a 'Tasks Progress' analysis view and another bookmark pointing to a 'Client Review' view etc.
 
Basically when I bookmark a page, I would like to have the bookmark to take me back exactly to the same place (context, page, view, filter). Currently only takes me to the same context in the project and the same page.
 
Thanks!
M.
