Files - Introduction

Make sure you save your information at all times. If the current Play
has been altered since it was last saved, the name is displayed in
yellow instead of white. If over 30 minutes have passed without
saving, the time stamp will turn red (6.1).

All file handling is done from the File node (BROWSER >File).

This system has a hard drive as the primary storage. You can also use a USB memory stick,
an external USB drive, Floppy or a File Server on the network. For alternative Play Paths

NOTE
USB memory is the main external storage media.

If you insert a USB device which contains Image or Movie files, you
get a question about auto importing them to the Images and Movies
folders.

The Floppy drive is mainly an interface for importing shows from
other systems using floppy such as Pronto, Safari, Expression,
Strand 500-series etc. If your system does not have a floppy drive,
connect one with USB or move the files to a USB memory stick. On
