File Manager Operation

This section covers the File Manager module (discontinued in Audicom Black and replaced by Media Manager). It is maintained for operational compatibility and users in transition.

​
Expanded Mode

  • Clicking the red arrow opens a second window to the right of the module (similar to the main one).
  • Used to move or copy files between folders, among other functions.
  • Clicking on a file changes the active window, indicated by the green arrow.
  • Playback buttons act on the file selected in the active window.

​
Moving and Copying Files

1

Open second window

Enable expanded mode (red arrow) to have two panels.
2

Select files

  • Multiple selection with Ctrl + click (one by one).
  • Continuous range with Shift + click (from first to last).
3

Choose destination

In the secondary window, open the destination folder.
4

Move

Drag the selection to the destination folder.
If the files were registered in the Database, their location is automatically updated.
5

Copy

Drag while holding Ctrl: you’ll see a (+) sign indicating copy.
autoDB Folders
  • When moving/copying music to an autoDB folder:
    a) If the file was not registered, it is automatically added.
    b) If it was already registered, all info is kept except “Style”, which takes the new folder name.
  • From autoDB → non-autoDB folder: Database remains unchanged.
  • The autoDB logic applies only during move/copy; it doesn’t modify information afterward.
Avoid moving/renaming/deleting registered files using Windows tools:
  • If moved, location will be corrected when aired (AutoDJ/InfoMusic), but requires exhaustive searches.
  • If deleted or renamed, Database will mark the media as _missing.
