[Craig Seeman] "It's a 1.0 app. Of course they will add features. "

This isn't a missing feature Craig. It's a big problem. Can't open your media in another app for fear of changing metadata that results in offline media? That's poor design and/or programming.

I don't care what constraints the programmers are under, this should have been taken into consideration before any code was written, and code should have been written to account for the fact that editors do not operate in a vacuum. Maybe that was a manager's fault for not requiring that media be accessible in other programs without breaking a link in FCPX, maybe it's the coder's fault for shoddy code and they didn't bother to fix it during beta testing - either way, it's completely unacceptable, even for a 1.0 app. It smacks of engineers designing the program with zero input from working editors.
