Functions Menu

Check for Modified Or Deleted Files

This function is used to ensure that all scanned data is still present, and has not been

changed. This process also runs automatically from time to time. This function is useful

for updating the selected data in the Project Manager’s database, should you have

deleted, moved, or copied files using the operating system. Normally, this isn’t

recommended, but in real life, these situations sometimes occur. As an example,

copying a bunch of songs and audio into a folder in order to burn that folder onto a

CD-ROM, for backup purposes. After the burn procedure, you might want to move the

original folder to the Trash. By using Check For Modified Or Deleted Files, you can ensure

that the Project Manager no longer expects/looks for the existence of this folder.

Thanks to the Project Manager database, it’s much more convenient to backup projects

systematically: Use Logic’s File > Save as project… feature to backup songs, associated

audio and settings data to a folder that can be copied to a CD-ROM. This feature is, in

fact, the major benefit of the Project Manager. If you always work systematically, you

normally won’t need to use the Check For Modified Or Deleted Files option.

Clear Scanned Data

This function, as its name implies, clears the scanned Project Manager data. If you

select nothing, the entire database will be cleared. This would normally not be

desirable, but may be useful if you had totally reorganized the contents of your disk.

This may be the case if you’ve backed up all of your data to CD-ROMs, following the

production of an album, and have cleared all songs and audio files used for the album.

If you select a folder in the Project Manager Browser, the Project Manager data related

to the contents of that folder will be cleared. This is useful if you wish to exclude a

folder from being associated with any file.

Save Project Manager Data

This option allows you to save the Project Manager’s database manually, even though

this occurs automatically whenever you quit Logic. For power users who never quit

Logic, this is a good option for saving the database, especially after the completion of

longer scan procedures.

Remember that the Project Manager data is not saved with songs. The database is

independent of song files as it is related to all files.
