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.
The Browser Menu
All Browser windows provide a Browser menu in
the upper right corner of their toolbar. The
Browser menu provides commands specific to
each type of browser, as described below.
Not all browser commands are available in all
browsers, as noted.
New Folder Creates a new folder on the current
volume, or within the current Catalog. In Vol-
ume browsers, a new folder is created on disk.
Available in Catalog and Volume browsers only.
For more information, see “Creating and Open-
ing Folders” on page 231.
New Catalog Creates a new, empty Catalog. Re-
quires DigiBase Pro. Available in the Workspace
browser only.
Create Catalog from Selection Creates a fully in-
dexed catalog of the selected items. Requires
DigiBase Pro.
Calculate Waveform Calculates the waveform
displays for selected audio files, or all files con-
tained in selected folders.
Update Database for Selected Updates the data-
base for the currently selected volumes or fold-
ers. Available in Workspace and Volume brows-
ers only.
Calculate Elastic Analysis Calculates Elastic Au-
dio analysis data for all selected audio files. An-
alyzed files are indicated by a check mark to the
left of the file name. Analyzed files where a
tempo has been detected are also updated as
tick-based, display their duration in Bars|Beats,
and display their native tempo in the Tempo
column.
Clear Elastic Analysis Clears Elastic Audio analy-
sis data for all selected audio files. Files cleared
of Elastic Audio analysis data revert to sample
timebase, display their duration in minutes and
seconds, and do not report a tempo.
Changes that are made with Windows Ex-
plorer 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 per-
formed.
