Find media files


The descriptions and instructions in this chapter assume that you have not yet made any adjustments to the default setup.
In particular, you should not yet be using the "preferred template" feature.


1. Start with a new document


It will have root group of type ALL to which are attached a set of criteria.

2. Change the group type


On the first row of the criteria pane, click on the pop-up menu currently labelled "ALL of the following are true".
Select "ANY of the following are true" from the menu. We want to find files that match either of our criteria.

3. Delete the first criteria


We will need only 3 criteria. Delete the first one of the existing criteria by clicking the "-" button at the right end of the row.

4. Morph existing criteria


We will need to query only by kind. Using the pop-up menu on the left of each criteria row, set each to query by "Content kind".

5. Media file kinds


From the value pop-up menus in the criteria row select the following:

- Row 2, criteria 1: Images
- Row 3, criteria 2: Audio
- Row 4, criteria 3: Video

6. Start the query


Click the green "Start" button in the window toolbar. Your query is now live. New files will show up as they are created.
