The MediaBay
Setting up the Results list columns
For each media type, or for combinations of media types,
you can specify the attribute columns that are displayed in
the Results list. In most cases, you will probably only want
to display a few main attributes in the Results list and use
the Attribute Inspector to view the complete list of attribute
values for the files.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the media type (or combination of media types)
that you want to make settings for.
2. Click the “Set up Result Columns” button and activate
or deactivate the options on the submenus.
Activate the attributes that you want to be displayed in the Results list.
Ö If you want to see none of the attributes of a certain
category, choose the “Select None” option on the corre-
sponding submenu.
Performing a text search
You can limit the number of results in the Results list using
the text search function. When you enter text in the Text
Search field, only media files whose attributes match the
entered text will be displayed.
For example, if you are looking for all audio loops relating
to drum sounds, simply enter “drum” in the search field.
The search results will contain loops with names such as
“Drums 01”, “Drumloop”, “Snare Drum”, etc. Also, all me
-
dia files with the Category attribute Drum&Percussion, or
any other attribute that contains “drum” will be found.
When you enter text in the field, its background becomes
red, to indicate that a text filter is active for the list. To re
-
set the text filter, delete the text.
The rating slider
Using the rating slider above the Results list, you can
specify rating settings for your files, ranging from 1 to 5.
This makes it possible to exclude certain files from the
search according to their quality.
When you move the rating slider, the active rating filter is
indicated in red. All files of this rating are displayed in the
list.
The search in progress indicator
At the top right in the Results list you will find an indicator
which shows whether the MediaBay is currently searching
for files.
Resetting the list
When you have set up filters for the Results list, you can
set everything back to default by clicking the Reset Re-
sults Filter button to the right of the Rating slider.
This will delete any text in the text search field, set the rat-
ing slider to display all files and deactivate all the media
type filters.
Click here to open the pop-up menu.
With this setting, only files with a rating of at least
2 are displayed.
When this indicator is shown, a media search is in
progress.
