Contents Pane

The Contents Pane shows a Windows Explorer like hierarchy of Media Topics:

Click on a Topic to display its media items in the List Pane.
Expand or collapse Topics with the arrow keys or by clicking a + - sign.
Delete a single Topic with the delete key. Note media files on your computer are never deleted.
Right click on a Topic or an empty space for context menu options described below.

Favorites Topic:

The Favorites topic is a special topic generated by the application. It contains only Media Items which have been marked as a favorite, and cannot be moved, deleted, or rearanged.
See the List Pane help topic for how to add and remove Media Items from the Favorites Topic.

Right Click Context Menu Options:

Delete: Removes the topic and all its media items from the Contents. Note media files on your computer are never deleted.
Move Up or down: Moving the mouse up or down displays an Insertion Bar. Click when the Insertion Bar is showing to rearange the Topics. Click on an empty space or press the Esc key to cancel the move. Note moving is limited to Topic siblings.
Export Topic: Export the Topic and its Media Items to an M3U or Media Record format file. See the Tools help topic for details on these formats.
Right clicking an empty space brings up the Add New Root Topic option. This opens a dialog to add a new Topic to the Contents. Type a name for the topic or select a predefined name from the dropdown list. Choose one of the four Media Types for the topic that best descibes the media files you will place there.

Topics can also be moved by dragging and dropping them. An Insertion Bar is displayed for rearranging, and a Topic Icon is displayed for inserting. A topic may be moved to or inserted at any location.
