The Results list
The Results list is at the heart of the MediaBay. Here, you
will find all the files found in the selected location.
As the number of files displayed can be huge (the info
field in the top right corner of the Results section shows
the number of files found with the current filter settings),
you might want to use any of the filter and search options
in the MediaBay to narrow down the list. The available op
-
tions are described below.
Ö The maximum number of files that are displayed in the
Results list can be set by specifying a new value for “Max-
imum Items in Results list” in the Preferences dialog (see
“Preferences” on page 217).
Filtering according to media type

dia type or a combination of media types.
• Click in the field where the currently displayed media
types are shown (by default “All Media Types”) to open
the Show Media Types dialog.
Here, you can activate the media types you want to be displayed in the
Results list.
When you have filtered the list to show a particular media
type, this is indicated by the corresponding icon to the left
of media type field. When you have selected several me
-
dia types, the Mixed Media Type icon is used.
