Manual Indexing

Manual indexing fills in all missing data, and updates changed data for selected folders and all of their sub-folders.

To update the index for a folder and all sub-folders:

1 Select the item in a DigiBase browser Items List.

2 Choose Update Database for Selected from the Browser menu.

To update the index for an entire volume:

1 Select the volume to update in the Workspace browser.

2 Choose Update Database for Selected from the Browser menu.

Last Indexed Date Display

The Last Indexed column shows the date that the index for that folder and all of its sub-folders was updated. Keep in mind that individual sub-folders may have been updated more recently.

Automatic Updating for Pro Tools Actions

Whenever Pro Tools adds, deletes, or modifies a file on a volume or in a session, the appropriate database is immediately updated to reflect the change.

Changes that are made with Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder (such as copying or moving files) are not tracked by Pro Tools and are only indexed if the necessary folder is browsed or if a manual index is performed.
