7.2 FileList
7 THE PRO-CODEC MANAGER APPLICATION
7.2.1 SelectingMultipleFilesforBatchProcessing
It is possible to select multiple files in the
FileList, for encoding/decoding to the same
output format. To select multiple files:
•
Command+Click (Mac) or Control+Click (Windows) to add a file to the current
selection.
•
Shift+Click to select a range of files.
• Press
Command+A (Mac) or Control+A (Windows) to select all.
It is important to remember that the available bit rate list for each codec changes
depending on the source sample rate and channel configuration.
Because of this, and the modality of the
CodecSelector and decoder output format
selector, there are necessary restrictions on the types of files that can be selected
simultaneously:
1. Encoding and Decoding cannot coexist in a single batch operation
2. When selecting uncompressed WAV or AIFF files for encoding, all files in the
selection must have:
• the same sample rate
• the same channel configuration
In order to enforce these restrictions, when keyboard focus is set to the File List, and a
multi-select modifier (
Command (Mac), Control (Windows), or shift) is held, incompatible
files in the list are greyed out and cannot be selected.
Drag an audio file onto the FileList to set the file’s parent folder as the root of the Folder
Browser and select the file for processing. Please note that this will only work for audio
file types that are supported by the Manager, such as WAVE, AIFF, MP3 and AAC
encoded M4A.
Right-click a file in the list and select
RevealinFinder (Mac) or RevealinExplorer
(Windows) to open the operating system file browser at that file’s location.
