If the contents of a field are too wide to fit in the available space in the tracks list, you'll see a
row of periods, like so: ... at the end of the field. If you drag the mouse cursor over the field and
let it sit there, a tooltip will pop up that displays the unabbreviated contents of the field.
You can adjust the widths of the different columns in the tracks list by clicking on the borders
between the columns and dragging them. This doesn't affect how wide the columns will be on
any actual labels.
Like many another dialog, this one has a bunch of buttons. Here's what they all mean:
Add Row: adds a new row to the end of the list.
Remove: removes the currently selected row.
Edit: lets you edit the text of the currently selected item.
Move Up: moves the currently selected row one row up.
Move Down: moves the currently selected row one row down.
Import: this button will only be visible if you're working on an audio CD label. It lets you
import tracks from a playlist file. When you burn a CD, you usually create a playlist file
that lists the songs you burned to the CD. Imagemixer Label Maker can read most types
of playlist files and will automatically create a song list for you.
Read CD: this button will only be visible if you're working on an audio CD label and you
have a CD drive attached to your computer. It will attempt to get tracks information from
a CD in your CD drive. If your CD has an entry in cdplayer.ini or cdburner.ini, the
program will use it; if not, it will try to look up a tracks listing for your CD over the Internet.
Done: closes the window.
Display tracks on current label: If you check this box, your tracks will be displayed on
whichever label you've got currently visible. If you uncheck it, they'll be hidden.

Tracks Formatting Dialog

The Tracks Formatting dialog lets you quickly set the formatting, including visibility, font, color,
and layout, for your various tracks fields. It also lets you save your favorite combinations as
presets that you can access later with just a click or two. Changes you make in this dialog apply
only to the current foreground label, so you can edit the formatting of your disc label without
affecting the jewel case inserts, etc.
Here's what all the controls on this dialog do:
Presets: This combo box contains all the system presets (the ones that ship with the
software) and user presets (presets you saved yourself) for quick access. Selecting a
preset will cause the software to format your tracks text with all the font properties (and
optionally, the layout information from the "Arrangement" combo box) stored in that
preset.
To create presets of your own, click the "save" button. It's directly adjacent to the
Presets combo box and has a little picture of a disk on it. This will launch a file-save
dialog in which you can choose a name for your preset and decide whether you want
your preset to store just font information or both font and layout information. (If you
choose to save layout information, the preset will save the layout information from the
"Arrangement" option you currently have selected.)
