Bug 17.1B10 - comments & keywords not appear in Edit Index

PostMon Mar 08, 2021 4:19 am

For the "Edit Index" tab, when notes or comments are added to the Marker (by clicking COMMAND-M), neither the Notes or Keywords are displayed in the "Edit Index" tab - even though the Notes and Keyword columns display in the Edit Index.

Also, in the "Media Pool" tab, the keyword is not displayed, even though there is a keyword column.

Davinci Resolve 17.1 Beta 10, Apple M1 Mac

I use these notes and keywords to keep track when a project has a large number of Fusion compositions, and I need to find which one relates to a particular effect.

Is the Show Markers option enabled in the Edit Index via the Additional Options (3 dots) menu?

Thanks. After you pointed that out, I re-created a project. And when I take the step, in the 3 dots menu, to click SHOW ALL, only then do the comments and keywords appear in the Edit Index.

Either that is a bug, or I feel that it is not intuitive.

I believe the intuitive approach would be that, if a column is shown in the Edit Index or Media Pool, then its contents should automatically be displayed. If there is an intention to hide that information, then the column should not appear in the Edit Index. i.e. when the user selects a column to appear in the Edit Index, then the user's selection should automatically populate that column with information.

Most users come from either a Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac environment where the display of a column automatically causes the associated information to be displayed in that column. There is no two-step process of (i) displaying the column and (ii) commanding the information to be displayed in the column.

As I see it, there's no point in displaying a column, but not showing any information in the column. By doing that, it gives the false impression that there is no data for that field, when there is.

Any update/fixes on this yet?

Same issue here on Windows, 17.1.1, notes don't show either, making frame.io markers useless. Show All makes no difference. Hope this gets fixed! Better scaling of each field in the edit index would be good too, whilst one's at it :D ...
