Folder Settings
The folder settings are at the bottom of the SongPicker.
The Current Folder name is displayed.
The folder can be changed, either by:
1.
Selecting the new folder.
2.
Choosing a folder from recently used favorites folder.
3.
Changing the current folder to the BB home folder.
4.
Going “up” a folder (e.g. from c:\bb\styles to c:\bb).
When the new folder is chosen, the song list for that folder will be displayed. The song list may need to be rebuilt;
the program will do that automatically.
If the “Always open in this folder” item is selected, the song picker
will always open up in the specified folder. So if you put all of your
songs in c:\songs, you can make the SongPicker always open to the c:\songs folder.
If “Include Subfolders” is selected, the SongPicker list will contain songs
from the folder and any subfolders. So if you have subfolders to c:\songs
like c:\songs\country and c:\songs\jazz, you can see/search them all in the same SongPicker dialog.
Tip: If you choose c:\ as your folder, the SongPicker would find every Band-in-a-Box file on your hard drive and display it in
the SongPicker. You might instead find it easier to put all of your songs within a folder like c:\songs, and have various
subfolders to that. And then set the SongPicker to always open up in the c:\songs folder. Then you’ll have access to all of
your songs easily.
Choose a song from the Favorite Songs dialog.
Open a song (or any media type) using the Open File dialog.
Find a song using the Find song files… dialog.
Copy the song list to the Windows clipboard where it can be pasted into any
word processing program and printed.
Search for song by keyword will find the search term if it is present in any field.
The filter (upper right) can also be used to search the song list.
Search Again repeats the previous search starting from the current point.
[Rebuild List] will exit the dialog and build or rebuild the song list file by
loading in all of the songs in the directory. It will then launch the SongPicker
dialog with the updated information.
Exports the list as a Comma Separated Value text file that can be opened by
spreadsheets.
