64 Chapter 4 Getting Started with Soundtrack
Adding a Directory to the Search Database
Search looks through all indexed directories (volumes and folders) for files that match
your search criteria. Before a file can appear in Search, you must add the directory
containing the file to the Search database and index the directory.
Note: The Search database does not update automatically. If you add files to an
indexed directory, you must index the directory again before the files will appear in the
Media and Effects Manager.
To add a directory to the Search database:
1 Click the Setup button at the top of the Search tab.
2 In the Setup dialog, click the Add Directory (+) button.
3 In the file dialog, navigate to the directory you want to add, then click Open.
The directory appears in the list in the Setup dialog. You can resize the dialog if you
need to see more items in the list.
4 Select the directory in the list, then click the Index Now button.
Note: Indexing a large collection of files may take several minutes. The bottom of the
Add Directory dialog displays the progress of the directory being indexed. If you need
to interrupt the indexing process, click the Stop Indexing button. You can re-index the
directory later. You can deselect items you do not wish to re-index.
5 When Soundtrack is finished indexing the directory, click Done to return to the Media
and Effects Manager.
Click the Add Directory
button, then select a
directory to add.
Click here to index
the directory.
