Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec - Manual (Page 70)

7.5 The
Metadata
Editor 7 THE PRO-CODEC MANAGER APPLICATION
The list of presets is ordered alphabetically, and is immediately re-ordered when a new
preset is saved. Empty presets cannot be saved, so the + button is not displayed when
the Metadata
Editor is empty.
To delete or remove a preset, hover your mouse cursor over the preset name, and press
the red X button that appears at the right-hand side of the row. A pop-up window will ask
for confirmation before deleting the preset.
7.5.9 The
Metadata
Lock
Mechanism
It is important to remember that the changes performed in the Metadata
Editor are not
written to the selected file until the Write
to
File button is pressed.
If a new file is selected for processing when the metadata of the previously selected file
has been edited (but not written to file), those changes will be lost. A pop-up window will
appear in this case, to warn the user and allow the operation to be cancelled.
Each field in the Metadata
Editor can be protected to ensure that it isn’t modified during
editing. Clicking at the beginning of that field’s row, in the padlock column, will toggle a
small padlock on that row.
Click
and
drag in the padlock column to lock or unlock multiple tags.
Locked rows will retain the current tag content when clearing, reverting, or importing
metadata from other files or presets. Additionally, when changing the
selected-for-processing file, that row will keep its state. The
Cover
Art tag can also be
locked, by clicking on the padlock icon in the lower right corner.
When a non-encoded file is selected for processing, metadata info can also be added in
the Metadata
Editor. The main difference with encoded files is that the Write
to
File
button is disabled, since this metadata cannot be written to an uncompressed PCM file.
Instead, the metadata in the section will be written to the new encoded file.
