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.
