Resetting file status
To reset the status of a file to the “green circle” status described above,
click on the symbol to the left of the file.
To reset the status of all files, select “Reset status of all files” from the Ex-
tra pop-up menu.
Opening files
There are three ways to open a source file in a Wave window:
• Double click on it in the list.
• Select it and click the “Open window” button (to the right of the Play button).
• Drag it and drop it on an empty section of the WaveLab program window.
To instead open the processed file (after running a batch), proceed as fol-
lows:
• Double click on the file in the Output column in the list, or…
• Select the original file in the list, hold down [Ctrl] and click the “Open window”
button, or…
• Hold down [Ctrl], drag the file from the list and drop it on an empty section of the
WaveLab program window.
Other file functions and options
• The “Show full path” and “Show name only” options on the Extra menu allow you
to determine what file information you want to see in the list.
• To play a file, select it and click the Play button (speaker icon).
Stopping is done using any of the usual methods or by clicking the button again.
• If the file list contains files in raw format, or files that contain an unsup-
ported header, you can specify the format for them, by selecting “Define
default special file format” from the Extra pop-up menu. If this is done, you
don’t have to specify the format manually each time a file in “raw” format is
about to be processed.
For this to make sense, all “raw” files must be in the same format.
Saving and opening file lists
To save the file list as a simple text file, containing the absolute paths (lo-
cations) of all files in the list, select “Save file list…” from the Extra menu.
When you open a file list that you have saved (or one created in some
other way), the files in the list are added to the currently selected batch.
