Known Issues

  • In Cosmo, you may encounter duplicate entries of sequences or bins. This issue arises from a bug in Premiere Pro NextID. If a project or template has been accessed by this version (23.6.x <--> 24.1.x) at any point, it can lead to these duplicate entries appearing

  • Compatibility Limitation: Clients using version 4.8 and above are not compatible with those using version 4.7 and below, due to updates in the underlying framework

  • Watchfolders triggered directly via IO cannot be disabled. To halt them, you need to change their execution method to cron. This allows them to be disabled after their first execution.

  • The rclone node might not copy/move all assets within a folder due to an invalid argument. Running the command manually in a bash or cmd node will work as expected

  • Rclone jobs can't be canceled via the dashboard

  • File chooser for Web Import isn't working for Windows Clients

  • AME jobs might not be picked up on Windows clients which are running on a VM host

  • AME jobs can't be canceled via the dashboard/panel

  • File move action isn't creating a new target folder

  • A Windows 10/11 client running in a VM might (like vmware) not pick up a queued job; this doesn't happen on real hardware clients

Refactoring

  • Project File Copy Action: Now provides more detailed error messages if the input refers to a directory instead of a file

  • Wildcard FOLDER_SIZE: In versions <= 4.7.x, encountering a single subfolder with permission -x (not allowed to list file metadata) resulted in a "null" return for the entire folder. Now, it returns the size of all files it could read

  • Job Folder Copy Action (Conflict Rule: DELETE_EXISTING): If this operation fails due to missing permissions, the IO job status display will reflect the failure

  • Folder Content Delete Action: Error messages now specify which folder was not found when multiple inputs are provided

  • The Job Folder Copy Action now properly fails if the source folder is not readable due to missing permissions. Previously (in <= 4.7.x), it would succeed without copying anything

  • The IO API endpoint POST /ingest/{projectId} now appropriately returns a 400 response when an invalid or unknown projectId is supplied

  • All /openapi endpoints now correctly return the service's api.yaml definition file. Implementers can use this file to automatically generate custom Helmut API clients using tools like OpenAPI SDK Generator

This can be either a client or a server Stream. It’s an generic stream so it should NOT be used for heavy tasks (since multiple might run simultaneously). If the Stream fails, a job will NOT be created and an error message will be thrown in the panel. You can use the Job Status Action to set the job to FAILED or SUCCESSFUL (or QUEUED) right away. You can also use the Job Delete Action which will delete the Job silently, no errors, no Job in the Dashboard etc. Perfect for unwanted extensions / paths during auto import or watch folders.
