AJ-PCS060G 60 GB P2 Store

Does anyone know of a way to delete individual cards off the P2 Store without having to reformat the whole thing?
As you can only copy one card off at a time ( painful ) a good way to keep track of where you are at, ( on a Mac the cards all have the same name - Also painful ) is to delete each card from the P2 Store once it's been successfully copied over to the edit suite.
I have a bad feeling this is not possible.
Also, has anyone tried using Automator to create an "automated" 1-Click workflow for copying multiple cards off a P2 Store?

Probably not because P2 Genie does such an ace job.

Yeah I've just discovered the benefits of P2 genie.
Still wondering if there's any way to delete an individual card off a P2 Store with multiple cards on it?
 
All P2 Store users: why don't you check out

http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webap...oupId=14595&surfModel=AJ-PCS060G&displayTab=R

which is the resources page for the P2 Store. There's a new, illustrated guide (called UG_AJ-PCS060G.pdf) to using the P2 Store (which I love for its rugged, stubborn ways) which is much easier to follow than the instruction manual. Shows Panasonic are responsive to difficulties people are having, by the way.

One little thing Mac users must be aware of: if there's no data on the P2Store, Mac OS doesn't recognize a mountable volume ('cos no volume was created to hold your video) so it asks whether you want to eject or format. Of course you will eject. As soon as you have data, it will appear on the Desktop as NO NAME (which DOES drive me crazy): the more times you backed up, the more NO NAME volumes you'll have. Fortunately, FCP 5.1.1 on recognizes this and adds a numerator to them when importing (BTW import P2 volumes, do not drag and copy from P2Store as that takes ages because of the way Mac OS handles FAT32 - or something). Hope this helps.

But, guys and dolls, do RTFM!
 
FYI, I was able to get the P2 Store to load up on the Mac using the sequence Barry was talking about. Once the Mac recognizes it, I use P2 Genie to load the footage as MXF, then ingest into FCP. The workflow is a little more complex than it needs to be, but it's a ton better than logging and capturing!
