Folder manager tab [setup]:[files]
Folder creation [new project][new scene]
Folder creation, cont.
The file manager allows creation of a folder
and subfolder file structure for the organi-
zation of projects.
Take names are derived from the folder
names, plus an auto-increment. The next
take is always shown in the take increment
display.
Typical naming would be:
folder1_folder2_takeIncrement.mov
eg: Camera1_scene1_001.mov
The [new project] button creates a new top
level folder, and a single scene folder is cre-
ated within that folder at the same time.
The [new scene] button creates a new sub-
folder within the currently selected top level
folder.
Default naming for newly created project
and scene folders is an auto-incremented
number.
When ceating scenes within a project folder,
the scene folder name will auto-increment if
no name is given.
The name may be changed as long as there
are no takes in the folder.
If there are too many folders to show on one
page, navigation arrows will appear to allow
scrolling through the full list.
