mMOD - How to add indexes to a session


Each recording can contain an index that will be displayed in the VCRApplet index interface. This index should be stored in a file called INDEX in the same directory as the data-files.

Each line in the index-file can either be a folder or an item. Folders are symbolized in the tree-display with a folder-icon and items with an document-icon. The format of each line in the file is:

Folders: 0 level desc
Items: 1 level offset desc

where level is the level in the tree counted from the left,
desc is the description of the item or folder,
offset is the time in m-seconds that this index points to.

Note that the offsets in m-seconds can be found by clicking on the time in the VCRApplet. Also note that the index of an running session can be updated in the applet by clicking on the Update Index button under the "misc" tab.

Indexes can also be created using the mIndex application.
