Write Pane Previous Top Next

The Write panes consists of the Write queue, the clear and cancel buttons and the progress bar.

When an item is opened it is added to the Write queue with an unmodified status (no icon). After a change has been made to the data (but not if just a search result is used) the status is changed to modified modiifed, when MetaX is writing the file the icon is changed to writing and when the write is complete the icon is changed to done.

As each file is being written the progress is indicated by a progress bar at the bottom of this area.

When a file is selected in the write queue, it's information is displayed in the data panes and any modification to these areas are saved in the file. If multiple files are selected, only those fields which are the same in all files is displayed, and any modifications affect all selected files.

If you right click on an item in the queue, you are given an option to delete the item from the queue, rename it or change it's status to queued or done. You can also rename an item by just double clicking on it and modifying the name in place.

Finally there are two buttons, clear and cancel. Clear will remove all items from the write queue, prompting you if some have been modified but not written. Cancel will cancel a write in progress.
