The cmtool utility includes options
that you can use to work with the contents of your volumes. Without
entering the application, you can perform activities such as opening,
closing, deleting, and renaming volumes, projects, partitions, archives,
and libraries. Additionally, you can view the contents of volumes,
projects, partitions, archives and libraries.
NoteYou can use cmtool to
determine the unique ID (UID) of a clip. Both publishTool and stonifiseTool accept
a UID instead of the name and creation date of a source clip. To
determine the UID of a clip, list the contents of the library in which
it resides, locate the clip, and find its UID in the clip ID column.
A UID has the format H_0000000000_S_0000000000_U_00000.
To start cmtool:
- Make sure that /usr/discreet/io/<version
number>/bin is in your path.
- Type:
The >cmtool prompt
appears.
- At the >cmtool prompt, type a cmtool option.
