Special Considerations
The GIF Filter creates a movie preview for animated GIF files.
The Audio CD Filter, MIDI Filter and System Sound Filter create a temporary file for previewing. You specify the file that is used to store the movie data. The filter will not delete the file after the preview is closed.
For video, sound and animation filters the following setup dialog allows you to decide which additional textual information you want to be added to your record:
╩
For each item in the list of Additional Information you can choose whether it should be captured to the notes field or to the categories of a record. An ╥N╙ in front of the item indicates that it is captured to the notes field while a ╥C╙ indicates capturing it to the categories.
To change capturing of items select them in the list and click one of the radio buttons on the right.
Clicking the Default button resets the list to the default state.
