| "Filename" | The file used to store the current list. There must always be one of these defined. |
| "Primary path" | The path to the folder that contains the primary collections. If the slides for hymns are stored in the folder "C:\path\to\Documents\ChurchSlides\Hymns", and the slides for prayers are stored in the folder "C:\path\to\Documents\ChurchSlides\Prayers", then "C:\path\to\Documents\ChurchSlides" is the "Primary path", containing 2 collections "Hymns" and "Prayers". |
| "Enable Secondary" | Tick to enable the facility for adding 2 files for each item. Note: The "Secondary path" must be an existing folder, for this to alter the way that the "Add" button functions. |
| "Secondary is first" | Tick to ensure that the file from the secondary collections, is stored first, and is the one displayed in lists. If the primary collections are slides, and the secondary collections are music, then this would usually be unchecked. |
| "Secondary path" | The path to the folder that contains the secondary collections. If the files containing music for hymns are stored in the folder "C:\path\to\Documents\ChurchMusic\Hymns", and the files containing music for voluntaries are stored in the folder "C:\path\to\Documents\ChurchMusic\Voluntaries", then "C:\path\to\Documents\ChurchMusic" is the "Secondary path", containing 2 collections "Hymns" and "Voluntaries". Selecting a file in the music "Hymns" collection could find a corresponding file in the slides "Hymns" collection, and both get included in the item. Selecting a file in the music "Voluntaries" collection can never find a corresponding file, so the item will contain only the music file. There can only be corresponding files, if there are corresponding collections. |
| "Mirror Primary and Secondary non-corresponding folders" | Click this button to create links between the non-corresponding folders in the Primary and Secondary folders. This is done so that folders that are unique to Primary or Secondary are always available to the "Add" button. So, if "Enable Secondary" is ticked, slides in "C:\path\to\Documents\ChurchSlides\Prayers" will appear in "C:\path\to\Documents\ChurchMusic\Prayers", and can be selected. Similarly, in normal mode, music in "C:\path\to\Documents\ChurchMusic\Voluntaries" will appear in "C:\path\to\Documents\ChurchSlides\Voluntaries", and can be selected. Note: These links are not interpreted as corresponding collections. |
