"Indexed locations" are folders, which are searched and cataloged in Windows via the
index list. If the index list is activated, the files in the indicated folders will be indexed
while the computer is idling, so that the user's search query may be completed faster.
Note: In Microsoft Windows XP, the indexing service is usually deactivated by
default. The search functions in Windows Vista
®
may be installed with the current
version of "Windows Search". They make it possible to easily add to the indexing
service. Please refer to the installation instructions from Microsoft.
Computer
The link button "Computer" displays the drives in the Media Pool. All drives will be
listed along with their drive letters and can be opened with a double click.
User directory
The second button featuring the user's name opens their personal folder in the Media
Pool.
My media
The "My media" button lets you select "Projects", "My videos", "My music", "My
images", and "Recordings".
Projects: Here you can switch to the folder where your projects and films are usually
stored.
You will find the "Show project contents" function in the context menu of a project.
Using this function, you can display all objects of a project and copy them into the
current project, retaining the editing and effect state of the object. This means that
you don't have to edit the objects again to keep the status of the "old" project. But you
can certainly continue editing the transferred object. These changes will be then
saved in the current project.
My videos: Displays all usable files found in "My documents\My videos."
My music: Displays the contents of the "My Documents\My Music" folder. MAGIX
Music Manager also suggests this folder for importing your music collection into the
database.
Slideshow music: This features the music that is included for dubbing.
My pictures: Switches to the "My documents\My pictures" folder. This folder is often
used by digital cameras and scanners to store transferred images by default. The
included MAGIX Photo Manager program also uses this folder (e.g. during image
import).
