Terms used in this guide
Throughout this guide, several terms are used in reference to the moving of discs into and
out of the Changer, and into and out of the drives within the Changer. The following are
definitions of these commonly used terms:
PowerFile MediaFinder Software
PowerFile Monitor
Part of the PowerFile software is the PowerFile Monitor. When the Monitor software is
running, it monitors the host PC, detecting when PowerFile Changers are connected to the
system. When it detects a Changer, it places a Changer icon on the desktop that is linked
directly to the Changer directory. (See next section: "PowerFile Changer files and directory
structure").
Note: The recommended default is to have PowerFile Monitor launch at startup. If
this option is not chosen, Changers connected to that host system will not be
detected until the PowerFile Monitor software is launched.
When PowerFile Monitor is running, a monitor window runs in the background and is
accessible from the menu bar at the bottom of the screen. The monitor window shows the
status and any error messages for each of the Changers connected to the host.
Reset All
The PowerFile Monitor window has a Reset All button that you can use if you think that the
Changer data on the host PC is incorrect. The Reset All button replaces the disc
information on the host PC with the data from the Changer itself. Subdirectories that have
been created by the user on the PC (see “Creating a new subfolder” elsewhere in this
guide) will be retained.
