Refresh Explorer window list?

FrankM wrote on 1/4/2002, 3:56 PM

After rendering a a new AVI file from event(s) on the timeline, the new AVI file does not appear in the Explorer window unless VV3 is shut down and then reopened.

Is there a way to refresh the contents of the Explorer window other than by exiting, then reopening, the program?

Pressing "F5" refreshes the explorer windows.

Hmm.
Maybe there's another step involved in VV3?

I tried pressing F5 after rendering a new AVI but I got the message "rebuilding audio peaks." The new AVI file did not appear in the directory in the Explorer tab. It did appear after I closed VV3 and then reopened it.

Any ideas?

Under the Explorer tab click on the 2nd icon [folded down top right corner]just right of where the disk volume shows the one with a page like icon and an arrow pointing either way and it will refresh the file list without rebooting. Hover your mouse over the icon for a few seconds and it should read 'refresh' in the pop up balloon.

The "F5" is sent to the active window, so you have to click in the explorer window somewhere first, then hit "F5". If the timeline, preview, or some other window was active instead, the "F5" would go to that window.

Simply "right click" your mouse in the desired window and select "refresh".
