Home Folder
The default working path will be entered here automatically. You can enter a different path if you want
to save your work to a different location. The “Go to Home Directory” option will take you directly to
the path entered in “Home Folder”.
Preview Size
Denes the size with which the thumbnails should be saved, internally. The maximum size can be
displayed in the preview window if the preview window is scaled large enough. Otherwise, thumbnails
will be displayed with a maximum size of 256 x 256 pixels in the content list. The internal database
will, though, swell quickly in size if too many large previews are saved.
Preview Timeout
With this option you can prevent the Content Browser from taking too long when scanning directories,
e.g. if les contain GI. If the limit set with this slider is exceeded, the Content Browser will use the
editor view instead of the rendered preview. If this method also exceeds the slider’s settings as well,
the Content Browser will remember this le and not even attempt to render a preview the next time it’s
accessed. You can, though, manually force the Content Browser to render a preview by right-clicking
on the item and selecting the “Create Preview” option.
Preview Compression
Select the quality of the preview images by selecting an option from the list.
Scan Opened Folders
If you open a new folder in the Content Browser, thumbnails of all known le types will be generated,
if this option is active.
Create Render Previews
Activate this option if the thumbnails should be displayed in rendered quality instead of editor view
quality. Since this process can take quite a long time, you can use the timeout slider described above
to limit the time the Content Browser will occupy with this task.
Display Preview Thumbnails
If this option is active, thumbnails of known le formats will be shown. Since generating such previews
can take quite some time, deactivating this option will display standard icons.
