The Pool
3. The Extended Search pop-up menu opens.
This contains six options determining which search criteria will be dis-
played above the Location field (Name, Size, Bitsize, Channels, Sample
Rate or Date) and the Add Filter and Presets submenus.
The search criteria have the following parameters:
• Name: partial names or wildcards (*)
• Size: Less than, more than, equal, between (two values), in
seconds, minutes, hours and bytes
• Bitsize (resolution): 8, 16, 32, 64
• Channels: mono, stereo and from 3 to 16
• Sample Rate: various values, choose “Other” for free setting
• Date: various search ranges
4. Select one of the topmost 6 options in the pop-up
menu to change the search option above the Location
pop-up menu.
This way, you can choose e.g. to display the Size or Sample Rate para-
meter instead of the Name field.
5. If you want to display more search options, select the
desired element from the Add filter submenu.
This allows you e.g. to add the Size or the Sample Rate parameters to
the already displayed Name and Location parameters.
This allows for a very detailed search, helping you to mas-
ter even the largest sound database.
• You can store presets of your search filter settings. For
this, click Store Presets in the Presets submenu and enter
a name for the preset.
Existing presets will be found at the bottom of the list. To remove a pre-
set, click on the preset to activate it, then select Remove Preset.
About missing files
When you open a project, the Resolve Missing Files dialog
(see below) may open, warning you that one or more files
are “missing”. If you click Close, the project will open any-
way, without the missing files. In the Pool, you can check
which files are considered missing. This is indicated by a
question mark in the Status column.
A file is considered missing under one of the following
conditions:
• The file has been moved or renamed outside the pro-
gram since the last time you worked with the project, and
you ignored the Resolve Missing Files dialog when you
opened the project for the current session.
• You have moved or renamed the file outside the pro-
gram during the current session.
• You have moved or renamed the folder in which the
missing files are located.
Locate missing files
1. Select “Find Missing Files” from the Media or context
menu.
The Resolve Missing Files dialog opens.
2. Decide if you want the program to try to find the file for
you (Search), if you want to do it yourself (Locate) or if you
want to specify in which directory the program should
search for the file (Folder).
• If you select Locate, a file dialog opens, allowing you to
locate the file manually.
Select the file and click “Open”.
