vic doesn't remove unused frames

[Anonymous]

I have a problem with getting unused frames deleted from my framestore. Well they do get deleted if i delete the entire project. But old temporary export timelines etc. lives there as a plague on my storage.

Got the fantastic idea to consult the support on Autodesk website and i tried running vic from the terminal / with no luck!

Any suggestions for what to do/try?

Here's the last few lines from the terminal when running vic:

Hi Henrik.

You did exit Smoke and made sure that no background jobs are running and that no other workstation  is remotely using projects on your workstsation, right?

Does this command list any orphaned frames?

/usr/discreet/sw/sw_purge -p7 -c

Regards,

Robert.

Looks like a corrupt library is stopping vic from proceeding. You could possible ressurect it from auto backups, but it looks like a hidden temporary library used for resizing. If that is the case, just delete it, and then run vic again.

ie. delete this file

/usr/discreet/clip/stonefs7/NONAME/workspace.smoke

_0C847729-4733-47FD-9907-CF3ADDB950FF.wksp/DL2_1TEMP6_7RESIZE9_4LIBRARY3.000.clib

run vic.

It should proceed further - hopefully to completion...

cheers

Hi Robert,

Here's the output of the above command:

smokeworkstation:~ henrik$ /usr/discreet/sw/sw_purge -p7 -c

Hi Jason,

It helped removing that file and vic ran as it should. But no old export frames are removed nor are they transferede to a Lost+Found folder in a give project.

In my statistics loads of old hidden export timelines, deleted (in the workspace) folders etc. living a happy life.

Onlye way to get rid of them is to delete the entire project / then they disappear!

Exported clips go into a hidden library that should be managed/cleaned up by smoke. I think that in some rare cases, this does not happen. You would then have to delete it using the terminal.

cd /usr/discreet/clip/<volume>/<project name>/<your current workspace>/
ls -al 

use the ’rm’ command to remove all _EXPORT entries from the folder

cheers
