Sony DCR-TRV39 - Manual (Page 73)

Adds thumbnails into the selected album. Clicking this command displays the 'Open' dialog box. Select
the directory in which the file you want to add is saved. Selecting and opening files adds them to the
album selected in the album list window. Thumbnails of the newly added files are then displayed in the
thumbnail list window.
Unlike adding thumbnails via the import file mode , this command does not create a copy of the thumbnail's source file.
When a thumbnail is added, its name is the same as that of its source file. Because ImageMixer manages thumbnail names
and source file names separately, they do not always have to be the same. Thumbnail names can be changed in the 'title'
field of the
Thumbnail/Detailed file information view . File names can be changed by the ' rename file ' command in the file
menu.
In Macintosh, it may be impossible to create thumbnails for files which cannot be opened by QuickTime Player. Also,
since Macintosh recognizes files by their contents rather than file extensions, some files may be added as certain file type
which is not in accordance with their file extension.
Add folder contents
Adds all the importable files from a particular folder into the selected album. Clicking this command
displays the 'Browse for Folder' dialog box. After selecting the folder from which you would like to add
files, click [OK] in Windows, or click [Select] in Macintosh. Thumbnails of the newly added files are
then displayed in the thumbnail list window. Files from sub-folders can also be added by checking
'Include Sub-folders.'
Test thumbnail integrity
Since thumbnails are merely graphic representations of the actual files that exist on your computer, there
may be cases where the source file is changed (renamed, moved, etc.), thereby changing the information
which links it to its corresponding thumbnail in ImageMixer. To see if this is the case with any of the
thumbnails within a particular album, first select those you wish to check, and then click the 'Test
thumbnail integrity' command.
In Windows, when a file added in an album cannot be found because it has been deleted or moved from the directory in
which it was saved, a question mark (?) will be displayed on the file's thumbnail. This is not displayed in Macintosh.
