7.Select the Add tags and custom properties from files check box if you want to add tags and custom columns saved in the media files to your library. For more information about tagging media, please see Tagging media files on page 77. For information about adding custom columns to the Search Results pane, see Adding custom columns on page 91.

8.Select the Use file and folder names to apply tags automatically check box if you want to automatically tag files based on the file path.

For example, when this check box is selected, a loop saved in the d:\loops\drums\hi-hats\folder would have the tags Drums and Hi-Hats applied when it is added to the library. Some synonyms (and variant spellings) will be resolved using a tag thesaurus. If you need to modify the thesaurus, you can edit the TagThesaurus.xml file, which is created in your My Documents\Sony Media Libraries folder the first time the application starts.

Note: Changing the selection of the Add tags and custom properties from files and Use file and folder names to apply

check boxes also changes the settings in the Media Manager Options dialog.

9.Click the Search button to start adding files to the library.

10.Click the Close button when you’re finished.

A tag is automatically added to the Tag tree when you search. The tag name will include the date and time of the search, and all files that were added or updated in the library are marked with this tag.
