7.2.1 Selecting Multiple Files – Batch Processing
It is possible to select multiple files in the File List, for encoding/decoding to the same output
format. To select multiple files:
• Command+click (Mac) or control+click (Windows) to add a file to the current selection.
• Shift+click to select a range of files.
• Press command+A (Mac) or control+A (Windows) to select all.
It is important to remember that the available bit rate list for each codec changes depending on the
source sample rate and channel configuration.
Because of this, and the modality of the Codec Selector and decoder output format selector, there
are necessary restrictions on the types of files that can be selected simultaneously.
• Encoding and Decoding cannot coexist in a single batch operation
• When selecting uncompressed WAV or AIFF files for encoding, all files in the selection must
have:
o the same sample rate
o the same channel configuration
In order to enforce these restrictions, when keyboard focus is set to the File List, and a multi-select
modifier (command (Mac), control (Windows), or shift) is held, incompatible files in the list are
greyed out and cannot be selected.
Drag an audio file onto the File List to set the file’s parent folder as the root of the Folder Browser,
select the file for processing. Please note that this will only work for audio file types that are
supported by the Manager, such as WAVE, AIFF, MP3 and AAC encoded M4A.
Right-click a file in the list and select ‘Reveal in Finder’ (Mac) or ‘Reveal in Explorer’ (Windows) to
open the operating system file browser at that file’s location.
