The Results list
Setting up the Results list columns
For each media type, or for combinations of media types, you can specify the attribute
columns that are displayed in the Results list. In most cases, you will probably only
want to display a few main attributes in the Results list and use the Attribute Inspector
to view the complete list of attribute values for the files.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the media type (or combination of media types) that you want to make
settings for.
2. Click the “Set up Result Columns” button and activate or deactivate the options
on the submenus.
Activate the attributes that you want to be displayed in the Results list.
Ö If you want to see none of the attributes of a certain category, choose the “Select
None” option on the corresponding submenu.
Ö When the “Allow Editing in Results List” option is activated in the Preferences dialog,
you can also edit attributes in the Results list. Otherwise this is only possible in the
Attribute Inspector.
Performing a text search
You can limit the number of results in the Results list using the text search function.
When you enter text in the Text Search field, only media files whose attributes match
the entered text will be displayed.
For example, if you are looking for all audio loops relating to drum sounds, simply enter
“drum” in the search field. The search results will contain loops with names such as
“Drums 01”, “Drumloop”, “Snare Drum”, etc. Also, all media files with the Category
attribute Drum&Percussion, or any other attribute that contains “drum” will be found.
When you enter text in the field, its background becomes red, to indicate that a text
filter is active for the list. To reset the text filter, delete the text.
