Object parameters

Connector
Let you choose which file connectors will be browsed by media selector.

Sub directory
Let you restrain browsing to a sub-directory inside the file connector main directory.

Empty pattern
Let you define how to display a media selector with no media selected.

Filter
If selected, this option let you filter files base on file type (audio, picture, video clip)

Wildcard filter
Let you enter a filter based on file extension, for example, *.mxf to see only mxf files.

Double-click on the object to edit it. Object parameters dialog will pop-up.

Key
Use this field to define the unique name of a variable in the context. media_selector will add a complete structure of data to the current context. This structure is describing the connector type and the file selected details.
