The File Browser makes it easy to navigate through files on your computer or through your custom collections.

Bookmarks#

The Bookmarks section contains a list of bookmarked directories. Double-clicking on a directory will show its contents in the file list below.

Standard Bookmarks#

Zrythm provides standard bookmarks for Home and Desktop, which correspond to the home and desktop directories of the current user.

Custom Bookmarks#

Custom bookmarks can be added by right-clicking on a directory in the file list and selecting Add Bookmark.

Filtering#

Filter Buttons#

Similarly to the plugin browser, files can be filtered based on their type.

The following toggles are available.

Audio: Only show audio files.
MIDI: Only show MIDI files.
Presets: Only show preset files.

Te doen

Preset filtering is not implemented yet.

Showing Unsupported Files#

By default, only supported files will be shown in the file list. To also show unsupported files, enable Show unsupported files in the file browser preferences.

Showing Hidden Files#

By default, only files that are not hidden will be shown in the file list. To also show hidden files, enable Show hidden files in the file browser preferences.

Auditioning#

Audio and MIDI files can be auditioned by making use of the auditioning controls at the bottom of the file list.

Play: Trigger playback of the selected file.
Stop: Stop playback of the selected file.
Volume: Control the loudness of the output audio.

Instrument#

The selected instrument will be used for playing back MIDI files. In the above example, the Helm instrument is selected.

Autoplay#

Auto-play (automatically playing back the selected file when the selection changes) can be enabled in the preferences below.

Preferences#

Clicking the cog icon will bring up the preferences for the file browser.

File Info#

Information, such as metadata, for the selected file is always shown at the bottom of the file panel.
