Chapter 16: DigiBase 289
DigiBase Browser Windows and Tools
DigiBase browsers display all files in their database, including Pro Tools and non-Pro Tools files. Un-
known file types can be shown, as well as aliases, and desktop folders.
To maximize processing speed and protect vital
components, DigiBase does not display all folders.
For example, in Windows, DigiBase browsers do
not display the Program Files, Windows,
Pro Tools Databases, WU Temp, or System Vol-
ume Information folders; and on Mac, DigiBase
browsers do not display the System, Applications,
Library, or Pro Tools Databases folders. This ex-
cludes them from being indexed, searched, sorted,
or affected in any way by DigiBase tasks. You
should not store Pro Tools session or media files in
any of these folders.
The main elements of a DigiBase browser
include the following.
Title Bar Shows the browser type (Work-space,
Volume, Project or Catalog), and the name of its
associated volume, session or catalog.
Toolbar Provides the Browser menu, Search icon,
View Presets (numbered 1–5), DigiBase browser
navigation tools, and preview tools.
Items List Displays the contents of a volume,
folder, session, or Catalog database in rows.
