DigiBase browsers display all files in their database, including Pro Tools and non-Pro Tools files. Unknown file types can be shown, as well as aliases, and desktop folders.
To maximize processing speed and protect vital components, DigiBase does not display all folders. For example, in Windows, DigiBase browsers do not display the Program Files, Windows, Pro Tools Databases, WU Temp, or System Volume Information folders; and on Mac, DigiBase browsers do not display the System, Applications, Library, or Pro Tools Databases folders. This excludes them from being indexed, searched, sorted, or affected in any way by DigiBase tasks. You should not store Pro Tools session or media files in any of these folders.
The main elements of a DigiBase browser include the following.
Shows the browser type (Work-space, Volume, Project or Catalog), and the name of its associated volume, session or catalog.
Provides the Browser menu, Search icon, View Presets (numbered 1–5), DigiBase browser navigation tools, and preview tools.
Displays the contents of a volume, folder, session, or Catalog database in rows.
Identifies the type of metadata displayed in the items list (such as file name and format) for volumes, folders, and files in the Items List.
