The "Search" option lets you search the current window for directories or files. Enter a
search item into the input box and click “Enter”. Found directories or files are
highlighted. You can find and highlight several entries that meet your search criterion
by entering one or several first letters.
The file browser opens as a tiled window by default. The right box hosts the favorites
list, which you can fade out using the “Options” toolbar. Use “Add” or “Remove” to
add and remove directories from the list of favorites.
There is a combo box below the favorite list displaying the last used paths and which
lets you change the current project directory.
Preview audio files
You can use the "Play" icon in the toolbar to preview a marked audio file, and every
highlighted audio file is played immediately if the “Autoplay” box is checked. This way
you can listen to a complete list using the cursor keys only. Clicking on the play button
again stops continuous playback again.
Hint: During playback the transport console controls are allocated to the media file.
Playback and positioning functions are fully available.
Playback is not routed through the mixer or internal effects. In contrast to the
playback features of the “Load” window, which uses routines of the operating system,
playback uses the audio device selected in the "Play" parameters (“P”), usually an
MME, WDM, or ASIO device. If no playback occurs, first check that the settings and
routing of this device is correct.
Note: To preview certain media data, e.g. in WMA format, you have to convert
these files to wave format. Conversion is done automatically in the background.
Load files from the browser into projects
Some media files can be inserted from the browser into an opened project at the
desired time position via drag & drop. If the file browser list is in the foreground,
pressing “Enter” has the same result.
If an audio file is dragged from the clip list and dropped into an empty space or into
the title bar of the program window, it is opened in wave editing mode.
If several files are selected in the list, all files will be inserted at the current cursor
position as new objects, and loading options ("Options") will be applied. This way you
can specify whether all files should be inserted into the current project one after the
other, one underneath the other, alphabetically, or according to their time stamp
positions. The load option settings are valid also for files loaded via the load dialog of
the program.
