The MediaBay
Browse Selection Presets
If you constantly find yourself returning to specific folders
during your work, you can save these browse locations as
presets so that selecting such a preset will take you to the
folder instantly. Proceed as follows:
1. Select the desired folder in the folder display.
2. Click the Add Browse Location Preset button (the “+”
icon).
A naming dialog for the new preset is displayed.
3. Accept the default name (the complete folder path) or
enter a new name for the preset.
4. Click OK.
The new preset is added to the Select Browse Location Presets pop-up
menu (which can be opened by clicking on the down arrow).
When you now open the Select Browse Location Presets
pop-up menu and select the new preset, the respective
preset folder will be selected in the Browser display.
• To remove a preset from the pop-up menu, select it and
click the “Remove Browse Location Preset” button (the “-”
icon).
• When the Browser section is hidden from view, the Se-
lect Browse Location Presets pop-up menu is shown in
the Viewer section.
This way you do not always have to open the Browser in order to switch
the browse location.
The Select Browse Location Presets pop-up menu in the Viewer
Finding files in the Viewer section
The Viewer section consists of two panes: the Filter section
at the top and below it, the Viewer display. In the Filter sec-
tion, you can set up filters and define searches for specific
files. The Viewer display lists any files contained in the folder
selected in the Browser, and tags of these files. How to set
up the tag display in the Viewer is described in the section
“Managing the tag lists” on page 284.
Ö Cubase only: Note that it is only possible to edit tags
in the Viewer if “Allow Editing in Viewer” is activated in the
Preferences dialog (MediaBay page).
When this is deactivated, editing is only possible in the Tag Editor (see
“Editing tags in the Tag Editor” on page 285).
The Viewer section
Depending on your settings, the number of files displayed
in the Viewer can be huge (the info line at the bottom of
the window shows the number of files found with the cur-
rent filter settings). Therefore, the MediaBay provides a
number of ways to display only specific files and to per-
form very refined file searches.
Ö The default number of files displayed in the Viewer
section can be set by specifying a new value for “Maximum
Number of Results in Viewer” in the Preferences dialog
(MediaBay page).
