Managers
A manager combines frequently required management and control functions within
one window, such as for markers, tracks and CD tracks. This includes a file browser
for finding, previewing and loading media files.
Managers can be opened within the Docker, but can also be displayed as separate
windows. Manager windows are multi-monitor enabled and save the last position
when closing. Multiple managers in various different views can be opened
simultaneously and independently of one another.
You can open the Docker providing quick access to all managers and other windows
via the "View > Managers/Docker (view page 435)" menu. You can also access
individua
l
managers via the "Managers..." submenu below.
File manager
Samplitude Music Studio 2013 contains a file browser in the manager where files can
be previewed and loaded directly into projects. The browser can be used to create
favorites folders and provides access to all recently opened folders.
To view the file browser, click on the "Manager" button in the toolbar and then select
the "File browser" tab at the bottom of the manager window. The file manager can
also be opened via the menu (view page 435).

Navigation / Favorites
The file manager works in a similar way to Windows Explorer; directories and files are
displayed with directory and file symbols in list form.
Navigation is achieved with the mouse or keyboard. A drive selection menu found in
the toolbar lets you quickly switch between all data storage devices connected to the
workstation.
A display filter located in the toolbar lets you limit the display to certain media types,
e.g. .wave, MIDI, or project files, only. "All media files" is the default display.
