The MediaBay
Rescan on Select
When you activate this button, selecting a folder in the
Browser section will cause this folder to be rescanned.
This ensures that the MediaBay will always display the
current content of a folder.
The “Rescan on Select” button
Ö When “Rescan on Select” is deactivated, you can al-
ways right-click in the Browser section and select “Res-
can” from the context menu to force a rescan of the
currently selected folder.
Refresh
In addition to the Rescan option, the context menu for the
selected node or folder in the Browser section (e.g. VST
Sound) also contains a Refresh option. This refreshes the
display for this location without having to rescan the cor-
responding media files.
Use the Refresh option when you have modified tag val-
ues and want to update the Filter section so that the cor-
responding files are listed with the modified tag values.
This is also useful if you have mapped a new network drive
and want this to appear as a node in the Browser section.
Simply select the Refresh option for the parent node (i.e.
Network Drives) and the new drive will appear in the list
(ready to be scanned for media files).
Folder operations
The Browser section shows the folder structure of your
computer’s file system in a way very similar to the Win-
dows Explorer or the Mac OS Finder:
• Click on a folder name in the Browser display to select
the corresponding folder.
• Double-click on a folder icon in the Browser display to
open the corresponding folder.
• You can switch the Browser display between the Full
view and the Focus view.
If you select a folder and switch to the Focus tab only this folder and its
subfolders are shown. When you switch back to the Full view, the entire
file system node can be accessed again.
The Focus view for the Audio folder
• You can hide all folders that not being scanned for files
by clicking the “Show MediaBay Managed Items Only”
button.
This will keep the list less cluttered.
• Use the folder navigation buttons to navigate to folders.
Click “Previous Browse Location” or “Next Browse Location” to select
the previous or next folder in a sequence of previously selected folders.
Clicking the “Browse Containing Folder” button will select the parent
folder of the previously selected folder.
• You can create a new folder inside the folder by clicking
the “Create New Folder” button (the folder icon).
A dialog is opened in which you can enter a name for the new folder.
• To delete a folder, right-click the folder icon and select
“Delete from Disk” from the context menu.
A warning message is displayed, asking you to confirm that you really
want to move this folder to the operating system’s trash folder.
• To rename a folder, select it in the list, click on its name
and enter a new name.
• You can drag & drop a folder to another location.
You will be asked if you wish to copy or move the folder to the new
location.
!
When a folder contains a large number of media files,
the scanning process may take some time – you may
want to deactivate “Rescan on Select”, if you know
that you have not made any changes to the content of
your media folders since they were last scanned.
