MediaBay Settings

• To open a pane with settings for the MediaBay, click MediaBay Settings.

The following options are available:

Hide Folders That Are Not Scanned

Hides all folders that are not scanned for files. This keeps the tree view in the File Browser less cluttered.

Show Only Selected Folder

Shows only the selected folder and its subfolders.

Scan Folders Only When MediaBay Is Open

Scans folders for media files when the MediaBay window is open.

If this option is deactivated, the folders are scanned in the background, even when the MediaBay window is closed. However, Cubase never scans folders while playing back or recording.

Maximum Items in Results List

Allows you to specify the maximum number of files to be displayed in the Results list. This avoids unmanageably long lists of files.

Note

The MediaBay does not warn you if the maximum number of files has been reached. There might be situations where a certain file cannot be found because the maximum number of files was exceeded.

Allow Editing in Results List

Allows you to edit attributes in the Results list. If this option is deactivated, attributes can only be edited in the Attribute Inspector.

Show File Extensions in Results List

Shows file name extensions in the Results list.

Scan Unknown File Types

When scanning for media files, the MediaBay ignores files with unknown file extensions. If this option is activated, the MediaBay tries to open and scan any file in the search location and ignores files that cannot be recognized.
