The
FolderBrowser includes a feature designed to help locate audio files on your system.
Thus, using the built-in
FolderBrowser may be more efficient than browsing to folders
using the operating-system pop-up browser (accessible via the
Browse button at the top
of the section). This feature works as follows:
• Folders that contain audio files in any of their sub-folders are displayed with a
full-colour blue folder icon.
• Folders that contain audio files in their top level are displayed in full colour along
with the number of audio files that they contain.
• Folders that do not contain audio files in their top level, or any of their sub-folders
are displayed with an empty folder icon.
This feature can be CPU intensive. If the root of the
FolderBrowser contains a significant
number of sub-folders, or is located on a slow external storage device, the background
scanning of all folders in the
FolderBrowser’s tree can be correspondingly slow.
If this becomes a hindrance on your system, the background scan can be disabled in the
Settings tab, by deselecting
FolderBrowser: Backgroundscanforaudiofiles.
With this feature disabled, all folders will be displayed with a full-colour folder icon, and
the number of files in each folder will not be shown.
