Sorry if these have appeared before, didn't see them in a quick search.

1. When importing P2 via Clips to Bin, they shouldn't go offline when restarting MC!  This is a longstanding situation with absolutely no good explanation.  I understand the intention is to immediately Consolidate the media to edit drives, but this isn't always the case.  The absurd thing is the correct drive path will still be there, but the media is now offline and can't be recovered.

2. Import P2 -> Clips to Bin can be so much better.  Generally I don't get P2 cards from a shoot - I get a firewire drive loaded with one folder for each offloaded card.  So when I bring them into the Avid, I have to Import each folder, individually.  This really sucks when importing 50 cards+, as I've had happen.  What's worse, with every single import, you have to re-locate the path - it doesn't stick to the last path chosen, it defaults to My Computer.  I should be able to select a main folder containing various subfolders of P2 media, and MC should be smart enough to extract them all at once.

Am I making sense here?  I'd love some feedback.

 I had exactly the same issues not to mention having to transcode a lot of stuff because we got jerky motion if we didn't.

Add to that:

-'Grouped import clips to bin' option: I don't want to have 150 individual shots in a bin per card, I want all clips to show up as a single sequence, preferably sorted by media creation date.  We have to do this manually all the time for the moment, and I thought we had computers for repetitive tasks...

-P2 metadata !  ( XML parser?)

That's the *** I agree nothing worse than seeing 200 clips when it is one take.
