Still Store Menus
The Still Store folder browser only displays folders, and does not show any
files that may reside in a folder. This browser is intended primarily for Still
Store folder selection. This browser does not support individual file man-
agement (this capability is available from the File Operations menu). How-
ever, a folder copied with the Still Store Folder browser menu to another
disk drive duplicates all the files that folder contains, and deleting a folder
removes all the files in that folder from the disk.
The Still Store folder browser accesses the Still Store (C:) User directory, and
the Menu HD (C:) Zodiak User directory. It also accesses all mapped drives,
including the Zip drive (typically D:), CD ROM (typically E:), and, if
present, Floppy drive (A:). This browser does not access the Zodiak Video
Frame hard disk.
The
Up
,
Top
, and
Open
navigation controls operate the same as the other
Zodiak browsers (except you cannot view or select files).
The
Use Selected
button chooses the currently selected folder for use by the
Still Store. The browser will close, the Still Store Playback menu will reap-
pear, and the items in the selected folder will be displayed in the scrolling
list. If items from the previous folder have been cached, after the folder
change those items will continue be displayed on the list (they will be
shaded) and they remain available for use.
Note Avoid changing folders unnecessarily. Still Store material may become inac-
cessible or the wrong material may be loaded if items with the same names
reside in different folders. Also, if you switch back and forth between folders,
cached items that have been shaded remain so, even if their files actually
reside in the current folder.
The
Cancel
button returns you to the Still Store Playback menu without
changing the folder.
The standard
Copy
,
Paste
,
Delete
,
Create Folder
,
Rename
, and
Multi Select
func-
tions are available for the folder currently navigated to and selected in the
left pane. However, it is better to use the File Operations menu for folder
and file management.
CAUTION Use care if you delete or rename folders from Still Store folder browser menu.
You cannot inspect the folder’s contents from this menu before making a
change. Also, some folders (like Still Store/User/DEFAULT) should be present
in their original location and retain their original names for proper system
operation. Only delete or rename folders you are familiar with and know are
safe to modify.
Playback Controls
When the Playback menu is selected, the center pane provides playback
controls for the delegated output.
