MacroSystem STORE n SHARE SETUP GUIDE & NOTES - Manual (Page 3)

-USB thumb drives used for activation codes will not work on the external drives. They
are only used with the internal drive. On an external drive, only the project data is
stored. System data and software programs are only stored on the internal drive.
-When deleting a project environment, it may take a moment especially on larger ones.
At first, it may appear nothing has happened, but wait a little bit and then the data will
clear out of the list.
TIPS
-Name your external drives first thing. You can name your drives in the "Project" menu
at the very top under "Name". You may elect to name the main drive something like
"Internal" so that you always know it's the internal hard drive. When you switch to the
external drive, then you can give it a different name. Be sure to mark or name your
external drives clearly, especially if you plan to use more than one drive.
-We recommend using only one drive at a time when connected with the system. This
will reduce the chance of getting your drives confused and accidentally removing
material.
-Remember if the external drive is currently in use before you shut down. We've found it
best if the external drive is shut off last when you are done editing. Once you start using
Store 'n' Share on external drives, always be sure to check in your "Project" menu to
determine which drive is currently in use before shutting down.
- Once a drive has been initialized for Store 'n' Share, you won't be able to use it with an
older Casablanca running Smart Edit anymore. External hard drives used with SE models
have to use the FAT 32 format. So, if you are using multiple Casablanca models, you
may want to consider using separate external hard drives. Try using one drive for the
Store ‘n’ Share and perhaps another drive for storyboard/archives backups.
KNOWN ISSUES
-With the external drive selected, shutting down prior to turning off the main system
may result in a frozen hourglass. You will have to force shut down and reboot to switch
back to internal drive. For health of hard drive and system, be safe and observant of
what drive you are on before shutting down.
-Using Progressive formatted projects may cause some crashes. We are looking into this
item.
