An additional filter appears above the File Pane. This filter quickly locates files matching criteria you enter,
doing so even as you type. For example, if you enter “wav” into the filter field, the File Pane displays all
content at the current location with that string as part of its filename. This would include any file with the
extension “.wav” (WAVE audio file format), but also “wavingman.jpg” or “lightwave_render.avi”.

Right-click on a file icon in the right-hand pane to show a menu providing Rename and Delete options. Be
aware that Delete really does remove content from your hard drive. This menu is not shown if the item
clicked is write-protected.

During playback, the uppermost timecode field beside the transport controls displays the current countdown
time for active playlist item, or for the entire playlist when the Playlist mode button is enabled. (As
mentioned earlier, the time show below is the embedded clip timecode.) Left-click the field to type in a
timecode, then press Enter to jump to that point in the file (or playlist).
Hint: The time display and scrub bar color provides visual indication that the playback is nearing its end. Ten
seconds before the end of play for the current item, the digits in the time display and the scrub bar background
turn amber. With only five seconds left, the color changes to red.

Normally, Media Player playback stops when the Out Point of the current playlist item is
reached (unless Loop is also enabled, in which case playback of the current item repeats
until manually interrupted).
Clicking the Playlist mode button (Figure 130) tells the Media Player to operating in
continuous play mode, advancing through the playlist items until the last one has played.
