What it is for

Section titled “What it is for”

The folders Kaveo scans on this computer, for films, series and music. Their titles appear under All and under no category — to file a folder under Movies or Series, add it to that category instead, see Categories.

Settings › Library › Folders, with one folder under Library folders: its full path, Normalize… and the cross that removes it, and Add folder… below

How to use it

Section titled “How to use it”
  1. Open Settings › Library › Folders — each folder is listed under Library folders, with its full path.
  2. Click Add folder… and choose another folder to scan.
  3. Click the cross (Remove) beside a folder to stop scanning it, or Normalize… to rename what is in it — see Tidying a folder.
  4. Click Save — the scan runs then, not before; Revert puts the list back.

Good to know

Section titled “Good to know”
  • Removing a folder touches no file on disk and asks nothing: its titles leave the library, and its Recently played cards stay. Right-click one and choose Remove from Recently played, or clear them all with Clear history… under Settings › Library › Folders (Library).
  • Kaveo takes video files, and audio files as music; samples and bonus material are left out, and so is anything you leave out yourself — see Leaving files out.
  • Nothing needs rescanning by hand — a new file appears on its own, about ten seconds later. On a network folder Kaveo cannot watch, it appears the next time Kaveo starts.
