Hey all, I have a user who keeps two tabs in their web browser open, and is using two different views for both. If they refresh either tab, that tab reloads to whichever view was last selected, regardless of which tab it is. I feel like there must be a way to keep that information in a preset that I'm missing. Bookmarking the page either from Ftrack or with the browser doesn't seem to keep view information. Is there a way to achieve this? thanks, Mark

I'd love to be able to have more options than just "Active" and "Hidden" (eg "Bidding", or "Complete"). Is there a way to add statuses? I can't seem to find it in settings. Thanks! Mark

Hi, We're a full CG studio with episodic work, and we currently use TypedContextLinks a lot, to link AssetsBuilds to Shots and Episodes which allows dynamic scene creation from ftrack info. Last week we started playing around with Custom Attribute Links and really like how searchable they are for the end user. I like it enough that, as I'm about to do a refactor on some core tools for an unrelated issue, I'm considering either linking to (or replacing outright) the TypedContextLink workflow we currently use. My worry is that I'm unsure how well it'll handle assets that end up with hundreds of links to shots over a production run. I'm curious if the speed will be similar to TypedContextLinks, as they seem somewhat related in how they work from the little that I've played with them. Do I have any real reason for concern over performance, or should I just go for it? Thanks! Mark

I'm enjoying the new review player, but I'm hoping for one existing feature from the old current player. I can't see an easy way to be able to write a note or annotate a version, then set the status of that same version. I realize it's under info, but it's more than just information, as it's an editable item that's used (at least in our workflow) on every single version. I really wish I could have it visible at all times without clicking away from the feedback thread (which we also want to see on every shot). Would it be possible to add version status to the feedback UI at the bottom? Something like this. Thanks! Mark

So I'm new to Ftrack, and just learning about tuning projections in queries to gain a little more speed, and came across an error trying to get status.name for assigned task from a user. I get this error; KeyError("Multiple schemas [u'Project', u'TypedContext'] found for relationship u'status'.") I'm sure there's a way to focus on a single schema, but I'm unsure how to write it. Can someone point me in the right direction? Here's the existing query with the broken item in strikethrough; user = session.query( 'select \ assignments.context._link, \ assignments.context.name, \ assignments.context.parent.name, \ assignments.context.status.name, \ assignments.context.parent.parent.name from User \ where is_active is "True" and email is "{}"'.format(user_email)).one() Less of a concern for me, but another question is, can I select an index in a list? I only want the first item in assignments.context._link. Thanks! M.
