General Help ** First of all, what does AlbIn_MUI do? AlbIn_MUI is a database over your records, CD's, tapes, videos and other music medias. When you start AlbIn_MUI from Workbench® a screen will open and a window will also open. As you can see, the window consists of a few string-gadgets. These gadgets will be empty at the beginning. The window will be explained more in detail later. The operation of the GUI complies to the MUI standard. This means that all standard shortcuts like TAB for changing gadget and Alt + TAB for stepping through windows. The order of the tab cycle is defined to offer the most efficient way to enter data into the database. The Song Window is a good example. When you enter a title of a song and press ENTER the 'Add Time' gadget gets activated. Pressing ENTER again and the requester pops up and asks you to enter the time of the song, and when you press ENTER tiwce (one to accept the input in the string gadget and one to accept the requester) the 'New Song' gadget is activated again, making it easy to enter the next song without fiddling with tab or grasping for the mouse. -- *** -- @EndNode #### #### Erland ############################################################################### @Node ERLAND "2. Information About The Erland Ratingsystem" @TOC ALBIN_MUI ** 2. Erland Rating Rules ** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I don't know who made this, but I found it in rec.music.industrial. Thanks to the creator. +5 - Probably the all-time greatest album in the history of the universe. +4 - Truly an all-time classic, one to buy and cherish forever. +3 - A very good album indeed, and highly recommended. +2 - A good album but with limited appeal or an album that has wider appeal but is slightly less good. +1 - A good album. Pleasant to listen to and certainly worth a listen. +0 - Competent but unoutstanding. It's not a *bad* record as such, it just isn't particularly *good* either -1 - An album you should have reservations about. It's not *really* bad, in fact you'll probably decide to keep it, but you probably wont play it that much. -2 - The sort of album which, unless you are completely fanatical about the artist concerned you probably shouldn't buy. -3 - The sort of album which, even if you are completely fanatical about the artist concerned you probably shouldn't buy. -4 - Really a very bad album indeed. Connosieurs of really bad albums should buy this. -5 - An album so bad you are unlikely ever to hear its like again. -- *** -- @EndNode #### #### Windows ############################################################################### @Node WIN "The Different Windows In AlbIn_MUI" @TOC ALBIN_MUI ** 3.

This list reflects the sorting (or lack of such). If you click on an entry it will be made active and displayed You may multiselect entries in the list and save then using the @{"Save Selected As..." Link MENU5.1} alternative in the Artist-Title List menu. -- *** -- @EndNode @Node EXPORTWINDOW "3.7 Export Window" @TOC WIN ** 3.7 Export Window ** This is where you export your database in different formats. You can export to three 'destinations'. They are: * Preferences printer * ASCII * Guide If want to use the first option, you have to check your preferences settings to ensure that you use the right printer driver. AlbIn_MUI will perform a form-feed between every entry in your database if have chosen the option to export an entire entry so it's easier to seperate the entries. If you only export a list over titles or artists, then AlbIn_MUI will print everything in one piece. The 'prefs printer' option is the same as the ASCII-export option, except you get your result on a paper instead of a file. If you export ASCII then you can set the default export directory in the @{"preferences window" Link PREFSWINDOW}. This also applies to the guide-export option. -- *** -- @EndNode @Node FINDWINDOW "3.8 Find Window" @TOC WIN ** 3.8 Find Window ** I you are lycky you might have so many albums that searching for something special might be tiresome if you do it manually. Well, you can always use the find function in AlbIn_MUI to find what you search for. When you open the window, you will see a lot of checkmark gadgets. If you tick them, AlbIn_MUI will search that field in every album. The checkmarks represent every string gadget were you can enter text. There are also a short cut to mark all items wich may contain a name of a person or a title of a song or an album. There's also a gadget to clear all checked items when you want to make a different search. You can also ignore the casing of the words that you search for which means that if you search for 'Energy Rekords', 'energy rekords' as well as 'eNerGY rEKorDs' will be found. If you haven't marked the 'Ignore Case' gadget AlbIn_MUI will not find anything. You can export the search result as an AlbIn_MUI database. A file requester will pop up so you can enter the name of the new archive. -- *** -- @EndNode @Node PREFSWINDOW "3.9 Preferences Window" @TOC WIN ** 3.9 Preferences Window ** This is where you enter the preferences that has to do with AlbIn_MUI (the GUI preferences is set by the 'MUI' prefs program). The default viewers, editor and paths are set to be most standard as possible. The gadgets at the right are present so you can select almost everything with the mouse (you have to enter the options by hand). @{fg highlight}Text viewer@{fg text} The command line for your favourite textviewer. The default is 'More', hopefully present in the 'C'directory. Most text viewers can use the filename as an option so it can be read direct (without a file requester). The file name should be replaced by '%s' in the commandline and AlbIn_MUI will insert the name of the file that you have specified. You may have to quote the name in case of spaces in the file name. @{fg highlight}Picture viewer@{fg text} This is the command line for your picture viewer. The same thing applies to the viewer -- '%s' is used by AlbIn_MUI to insert the filename. Default is 'Display'. @{fg highlight}Text Editor@{fg text} This is the command line for the text editor. If you use CygnusEd or GoldEd you might have to use the option -sticky. I don't know how Edge or TurboText is working so you have to consult your manual to see how you send file names as an option to the editor. Otherwise the same thing as above still applies to this command line. The standard editor is set to Ed (it's not the top-of-the-line text editor but it's free). @{fg highlight}Text path@{fg text} The default path to your lyrics. If you don't select a path it will be the current path. @{fg highlight}Picture Path@{fg text} The default path to your cover pictures. Current path will be used if you don't select a default path. @{fg highlight}Text path@{fg text} The text path if you export ascii. The current path will be used if you don't specify anything. @{fg highlight}Guide path@{fg text} Export path for your giudes. Also set to current path if you don't specify. @{fg highlight}Load Dir@{fg text} The directory were you keep the archives to be loaded @{fg highlight}Save Dir@{fg text} The directory were you save your archives (I don't know why you would like different paths for saving and loading). @{fg highlight}Save Options@{fg text} Two radio buttons for the save options. If you want to be asked to overwrite the old archive everytime you select the 'Save' option you should choose the latter option, otherwise choose the first option and then you won't be bothered by the anoying requester. -- *** -- @EndNode #### #### Menues ############################################################################### @Node MENU "The Different Menues In AlbIn_MUI" @TOC ALBIN_MUI ** 5.
