Add a chapter on adding 3rd party clip libraries' locations
[ardour-manual] / include / adding-3rd-party-clip-libraries.html
1 <p>
2         You can add as many sample library locations as you like and easily
3         switch between them. To do that:
4 </p>
5
6 <ol>
7         <li>
8                 In the <dfn>Clips</dfn> tab of the sidebar, click the top drop-down list and choose <kbd class="menu">Edit</kbd>.
9
10                 <figure class="right">
11                   <img src="/images/clips-locations-in-the-dropdown-list.png" alt="Clips' locations in the              drop-down list">
12                   <figcaption>
13                     Clips' locations in the drop-down list
14                   </figcaption>
15                 </figure>
16         </li>
17         <li>
18                 In the newly opened dialog called <dfn>Edit Sample Library Path</dfn> click <kbd class="button">Add</kbd> and locate the folder that contains samples. If there are subfolders, choose the parent folder that contains them all.
19         </li>
20         <li>
21                 Repeat for all other sample libraries.
22         </li>
23         <li>
24                 Click <kbd class="button">OK</kbd> to apply changes.
25         </li>
26 </ol>
27
28 <p>
29         Alternatively, you can drop a folder from a file manager into the list
30         of clips in the Clips browser. This will add a new clip library location
31         stored across sessions.
32 </p>
33
34 <p>
35         Now when you click the drop-down list at the top of <dfn>Clips</dfn>, you will see all the paths you added.
36 </p>
37
38 <figure class="right">
39   <img src="/images/clips-locations-in-the-dropdown-list.png" alt="Clips' locations in the drop-down list">
40   <figcaption>
41     Clips' locations in the drop-down list
42   </figcaption>
43 </figure>
44
45
46 <p>
47         Should you need to delete any path you previously added, open the <dfn>Edit Sample Library Path</dfn> dialog again, select the path and click <kbd class="button">Delete</kbd>.
