The "Search" option lets you search the current window for directories or files.
Enter a search item into the input box and click “Enter”. Found directories or
files are highlighted. You can find and highlight several entries that meet your
search criterion by entering one or several first letters.
The file browser opens as a tiled window by default. The right box hosts the
favorites list, which you can fade out using the “Options” toolbar. Use “Add” or
“Remove” to add and remove directories from the list of favorites.
There is a combo box below the favorite list displaying the last used paths and
which lets you change the current project directory.
Preview audio files
You can use the "Play" icon in the toolbar to preview a marked audio file, and
every highlighted audio file is played immediately if the “Autoplay” box is
checked. This way you can listen to a complete list using the cursor keys only.
Clicking on the play button again stops continuous playback again.
Hint: During playback the transport console controls are allocated to the media
file. Playback and positioning functions are fully available.
Playback is not routed through the mixer or internal effects. In contrast to the
playback features of the “Load” window, which uses routines of the operating
system, playback uses the audio device selected in the "Play" parameters
(“P”), usually an MME, WDM, or ASIO device. If no playback occurs, first check
that the settings and routing of this device is correct.
Note: To preview certain media data, e.g. in WMA format, you have to convert
these files to wave format. Conversion is done automatically in the
background.
Load files from the browser into projects
Some media files can be inserted from the browser into an opened project at
the desired time position via drag & drop. If the file browser list is in the
foreground, pressing “Enter” has the same result.
If an audio file is dragged from the clip list and dropped into an empty space or
into the title bar of the program window, it is opened in wave editing mode.
If several files are selected in the list, all files will be inserted at the current
cursor position as new objects, and loading options ("Options") will be applied.
