Inspired XPress - Programming Guide
In addition to the Properties tab, playlist SVG documents instruct XPress to open a Playlist tab in the editing panel. This
tab lets you compose the playlist and the order in which media elements will be played.
The following interactions are possible from the Playlist tab:
Add a new media. You may use different ways to add a new media:
Drag-and-drop any media to the Playlist tab of editing panel. If the new media is dropped on top of an
existing media, it will replace it. Otherwise it will be inserted where it was dropped.
Click on the “...” at the bottom right of the table. This will open the Media dialog, and allows you to type the
URL of your media. This is useful if you want to add media from remote sites.
Use the pop-up menu and choose Insert. This will insert an empty media at the selected position. The empty
media can then be edited using the “...” at the bottom right of the line.
Delete an existing media. Use the pop-up menu or the Delete key.
Change the order of the media. Using the pop-up menu, or using the ctrl+up/down keys.
It is possible to control the duration of each media and the number of times it will be repeated (if needed). The Playlist
tables shows for each media:
The media URL.
The media type.
The total playing time of the media. A looping symbol is added to the bottom right of the column if the media
will loop at least once (FIG. 20).
It is not only possible to create a playlist of media files, but also a playlist of text boxes
if needed. Media and text boxes can also be used in the same playlist.
