10. Media Files View
10.1 INTRODUCTION
The media files are the files which have been stored on the nearline. They can be
on-line, when the physical storage (IP drive or XFile drive) is still present. They
are called ‘off-line’, when the physical storage where they have been stored has
been removed and is no more present. However, the IPDirector keeps all the
information related to these off-line files to enable an easy retrieval of the
required files.
Refer to section 3.3 ‘Nearline Management’ on page 22 for major details about the
ne
arline.
10.2 MEDIA FILES TREE STRUCTURE
The Media Files branch can be viewed only by administrators/media managers or,
in hi-lo mode, by hi-lo browsers with appropriate user rights, provided that they
first enable the Show Media Files Plugin from the List View contextual menu.
The purpose of this branch is to perform file management operations: delete,
copy, move,…
Within the Media Files tree structure of IPDirector, sub-branches are available for
on-line media files and for off-line media files.
Clicking the Media Files branch of the tree displays on-line hi-res and lo-res
media files as well as off-line hi-res and lo-res media files in the Database
Explorer grid.
They are listed with full file name, file extension and full path of their physical
storage location.
Each line can be expanded by using a small arrow at the beginning of each
line.
