Medias directories
Manage the list of media directories
This panel enables to configure the list of media directories that are displayed in the Files Panel.Each media directory is made of:

Auto Save
The Auto Save Row allow you to configure auto save activation and frequency.
By default, each unsaved document with pending modifications are auto saved within a minute period when Smode is not On Air. Only 10 previous versions of the document is kept. This can be changed in this panel. If you encounter a hardware malfunction or if you delete or corrupt accidentally a Smode project .content file, Smode will display the "Unrecognized document format" error message:
You will find in the project folder the .content file, containing the project data.
You will also find the .version folder containing the auto saves.
Sadly you cannot rename file starting with a dot with the Windows explorer.
The tricks here is to drag and drop AutoSave file and .content file in two different notepads.
Then select all the content of the AutoSave file by using [Ctrl]+[A] keyboard shortcut, then copy it into the clipboard with [Ctrl] + [C]
Then select all the content of the .content file by using [Ctrl]+[A] then overwrite it by the clipboard content with [Ctrl] + [V], then save the changes with [Ctrl]+[S].
