<h2>Filtering Listed Plugins</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The bottom left part of the <dfn>Plugin Manager</dfn> is used to filter the listed
|
||||
plugins. Typing into the text-box will filter the plugins based on the filter
|
||||
mode selected by drop-down box. Clicking <kbd class="menu">Clear</kbd>
|
||||
empties the text-box.
|
||||
The bottom left part of the <dfn>Plugin Selector</dfn> is used to filter the listed
|
||||
plugins.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The center <dfn>Filter</dfn> column allows to show only some of the plugins, based
|
||||
on what they are, their properties, format, creator...
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Moreover, direct text search are available in the the Search text-field
|
||||
on the bottom left. Only the plugins that match <em>all</em> the search terms
|
||||
(space separated) will show up in the upper list.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This textual search can be matched against Name and/or Tags by checking
|
||||
the relevant momentary buttons under the search field.
|
||||
<kbd class="menu">Ignore Filters when searching</kbd> displays all the matching
|
||||
plugins, regardless of the active <em>Filters</em>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Tags</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Tags are text labels that can be used to mark a plugin. They are totally
|
||||
free in their content, allowing the user to mark a plugin with whatever
|
||||
info is relevant to him, but cannot include spaces (as spaces are used
|
||||
to separate tags) or special characters except dashes, colons and underscores.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Adding or removing tags is as simple as editing the <dfn>Tags for Selected Plugin</dfn>
|
||||
field while the targeted plugin is selected.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Ardour comes with a large selection of tags for provided or usual plugins,
|
||||
that are used by default but can be modified at will. It is possible to
|
||||
go back to this "standard" tagging for a plugin by clicking the
|
||||
<kbd class="menu">Reset</kbd> button.

||||

|
||||
for insertion into the <dfn>Processor Box</dfn>. A plugin can be added by

||||

|
||||
