There are four ways to open a file in MetaX:
- Drag a file into the write queue.
- Drag it onto the icon used for starting MetaX (Windows 7 note: If you pin
MetaX to the taskbar and you just drag a file to the icon, it will add it to the
jump list. If you want to open it, hold down the shift key when dropping).
-
- Use the standard file open menu.
- Drop a validation file created by MovieLibrary onto the write queue.
There are three types of files that MetaX supports: Movies, TV Shows and
Music Videos. tagChimp will do a better job of searching if it knows
what type the file is. So there is a preference in MetaX to set a default file
type if there isn’t a file type tag in the file. The default is to prompt the user,
but this can be set to any of the three file types and any file that is opened
that does not have a tag for type will be set to that type. If you open
multiple files at once, you can set them all to a particular type by checking
the box to use this type for all selected files.
