Keywords
This allows you to specify characteristics for the file that you can use later
in a search operation. This feature works in addition to the category fea-
ture. It can be thought of as a more advanced extension to the category
function. If you find that using categories serves all your
needs for classi-
fication of the files, you do not need to use this feature.
To add keywords to the file(s), type in each keyword, separated by semi-
colons (“;”) or commas (“,”).
• You can also click the “<<” button and select from the pop-up menus.
You can enter as many keywords as you like this way.
The Keyword pop-ups
• You can also add keywords of your own to the menus by typing the de-
sired name preceded by a backslash character (“\”). You can create hier-
archic items as on the standard menu. For example, if you type
“\Quality\Texture\Chrystal”, Chrystal will appear on the Texture menu
which in turn is on the Quality menu.
The new menus are automatically saved when you close the dialog. You can also modify
which keywords are available on the menu in new Audio Databases, see “Changing the de-
fault categories and keywords” on page 705.
Comment
In this field you can type in any comment you like to add to the file. This in-
formation can also be used when you want to find files that meet certain
criteria.
Update
If you have worked on the files since the Audio Database was last
opened, the file attributes (size, date, etc.) might be “out of sync” with the
real values. To update those settings, select the file(s) and use this menu
command.
