Audio Databases 29 – 703
Syncing to folder
The Sync to folder feature lets you make sure that the content of a volume
folder in the Audio Database matches the corresponding hard disk volume.
The operation affects the specified volume folder and all its subfolders.
1. In the folder list, right-click the volume folder you want to update, and se-
lect “Sync to folder…” from the pop-up menu.
The Find dialog appears, see “Using Scan folder” on page 687.
2. Fill out the dialog or select a preset to narrow the operation to files that
only meet certain criteria.
If you want to affect all files in the folder(s) select the “All audio files” preset.
3. Click the Scan button.
The following operations are performed:
• Files that are not yet in the Audio Database are added.
• Files that don’t exist any longer are removed from the Audio Database.
• The attributes (size, etc.) of all files in the Audio Database are updated.
Filtering the list
The filter function allows you to specify which files should be visible in the
Audio Database, by setting up certain criteria. You might for example
want the list to only display stereo files, files of a certain date, etc.
The filtering is common to all open Audio Databases.
To set up a filter, proceed as follows:
1. Select “Global Filter…” from the Audio Database menu.
The dialog that appears is identical to the one used for Scan folder.
2. Fill out the dialog or select a preset, as described in the section “Using
Scan folder” on page 687.
3. Click OK.
Now when you click on folders or categories, only files that meet the specified criteria will
be displayed.
When a filter is active, “Global Filter” is shown on the status bar.
