The Presentation Selector - Proxima Media Express Supplementary Manual

THE PRESENTATION SELECTOR

In order to work with a presentation, you need to understand how to find
and select presentation files. This section shows how to use the Presentation
Selector dialog box to change directories and copy files.
When you first switch to MediaExpress mode, the title screen appears. Press
the MouseDisk on the Cyclops remote control, the wand button, or activate
the
high-intensity laser spot to reach the Presentation Selector.
All of the MediaExpress dialog boxes are organized in a similar way; action
buttons are found on the right, and hint messages appear near the bottom.
These hints briefly describe the current item or action.

Figure 2-2, A sample Presentation Selector dialog box
Figure 2-2 shows the Presentation Selector. If you have the MediaExpress
model that comes with a hard drive, your Presentation Selector dialog box
will look slightly different.
1. The Floppy Disk list box shows the files on the floppy disk currently in
the drive. Directories are followed by a backslash (\) after the name (such
as the directory TEMP\ shown in Figure 2-2).
To scroll the list, point to one of the arrows on the scroll bar and click it,
or click somewhere in the bar between the arrows.
2. The Show Only PDF Files checkbox lets you choose between viewing all
the files on the disk or only presentation files.
3. The Hint Message status bar gives information that describes the current
item or action.
