The MediaBay
• To select the parent folder of the selected folder, click
the “Browse Containing Folder” button.
• To remove a location from the pop-up menu, select it
and click the “Remove Browse Location Definition” button.
• To show the files contained in the selected folder and
any subfolders (without showing these subfolders), acti-
vate the Deep Results button.
When this button is deactivated, only the folders and files contained in
the selected folder are shown.
The Results list
The Results list is at the heart of the MediaBay. Here, you
will find all the files found in the selected location.
As the number of files displayed can be huge (the info
field in the top right corner of the Results section shows
the number of files found with the current filter settings),
you might want to use any of the filter and search options
in the MediaBay to narrow down the list. The available op
-
tions are described below.
Ö The maximum number of files that are displayed in the
Results list can be set by specifying a new value for “Max-
imum Items in Results list” in the Preferences (see “Prefer-
ences” on page 327).
Filtering according to media type
The Results list can be set to display only a particular me-
dia type or a combination of media types.
• Click in the field where the currently displayed media
types are shown (by default “All Media Types”) to open
the Show Media Types dialog.
Here, you can activate the media types you want to be displayed in the
Results list.
When you have filtered the list to show a particular media
type, this is indicated by the corresponding icon to the left
of media type field. When you have selected several
media types, the Mixed Media Type icon is used.
The media types
In the “Show Media Types” dialog, you can activate the
media types you want to be displayed in the Results list.
The following types are available:
