Hi Ant

Does this work in 1.6v1 or does it just take very long time to purge 46 clips? Tried twice but killed it after 5 minutes of spinning blue circle in win 7.

Cheers

I tried this but it only removed some clips, then this this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/ohufx/pipelin e/tools/hiero/P ython/StartupUI /Purge.py", line 106, in PurgeUnused
B = BI.parentBin()
RuntimeError: Object does not have a parent bin.

B = proj.clipsBin()
try: B = BI.parentBin()
except: pass

is that safe? I haven't had a chance to check the code and understand why the error is happening.
I wouldn't want to throw a catch-all except block in there which might only suppress a symptom rather than fix the problem

Sorry, forget my code. It doesn't fix the problem.
This error happened when the project have repeated clips.
for example, project has a clip Clip('aaa'), for some reason, it is added to project again(maybe by script). Then the project has two clips, but they are the same one. When you begin to remove all of them by for loop. The first one, no problem, the clip become an unattached object without parent. The second one, when we want get its parentBin, error happened.

let bin get items, then removeItem.

sounds like some bugs that should be fixed on the Foundry side. Have you tried this in v10?

Used it in Hiero 1.8v2 and it doesn't work as expected. All clips are removed regardless of whether they are in a sequence. I found out that the "if trackitem.souce () in CLIPSTOREMOVE" test fails. But if you build the list from BinItems (get binItem() for every clip returned by findItems() and use trackitem.sourc e().binItem() here) it does work.
