Sorting<br />
With this drop-down menu you can sort kits either by name or by star rating.<br />
Rating your favourite kits and sorting chooser contents by Star rating can make it easier to<br />
find your favourite kits.<br />
This setting is recalled between sessions. Its state is stored in the BFD2 preferences<br />
– therefore, if you re-initialize your BFD2 preferences this setting is returned to the default<br />
(sorting by ‘Name’).<br />
Search<br />
The kit chooser panel includes a search facility in order to narrow down the amount of<br />
kits shown in the chooser panel.<br />
Quick-search<br />
Useful search terms are stored in the quick-search drop-down menu to the left of the Search text-box.<br />
Delete kit-piece from database<br />
Clicking this button removes the selected kit from the BFD2 database. This feature is provided if you find you have too<br />
many kits and you want to get rid of those which may not be to your taste, making kits you do like easier to find in the<br />
chooser panel. You are asked for confirmation before you can continue.<br />
If you choose to remove a user kit from the database, you are also asked if you want to remove the kit files from disk – if you click<br />
‘Yes’, the kit file and its associated photo are deleted from the /BFD2/Kits folder. If you click ‘No’, the kit’s files remain<br />
untouched. If you leave user kit files on disk, they are scanned during the next full rescan of the database (Trash and rebuild<br />
all databases in the BFD2 Data preferences).<br />
BFD2 never prompts to delete factory-installed kit files.<br />
Note that this function always leaves the actual kit-piece audio files untouched – if you want to delete these to recoup hard disk<br />
space, you must go into BFD2’s audio folder and delete the relevant folders.<br />
Sticky button<br />
Enabling the Sticky button results in the kit chooser panel remaining open after a kit is loaded.<br />
This is useful if, for example, BFD2 is playing a sequence or Groove and you want to repeatedly change kits until you find<br />
what you need. Clicking the Sticky button saves you having to keep opening the kit chooser panel.<br />
Load / Cancel buttons<br />
To load the currently selected kit, click the Load button.<br />
You can also load any kit in the listing by double-clicking it.<br />
If you change your mind and decide you don’t want to load a new kit, click the Cancel button.<br />
Keyboard operation<br />
You can navigate around the available kits with the cursor (arrow) keys.<br />
The selected kit can be deleted from the database by pressing the DELETE key.<br />
Load the selected kit by pressing the RETURN or ENTER key.<br />
To exit the chooser panel without loading anything, press the ESC key.<br />
Info<br />
The Info area displays information about the currently selected kit and allows you to rate it.<br />
Photo & rating<br />
The large kit photo shows a representation of the included kit-pieces. It is especially useful if<br />
you are using the ‘List’ or ‘Details’ views.<br />
Above the kit photo is the star rating control, with which you can rate the kit by clicking on<br />
one of the stars. This is used as a ‘favourites’ system when the Sorting type is set to ‘Star<br />
rating’: kits are shown in order of their rating.<br />
When you set a kit’s rating, it is applied immediately to the BFD2 database.<br />
Info<br />
The info display shows information about which kit-pieces exist in each of the kit’s slots.<br />
• Valid kit-pieces’ names are shown in black<br />
• Empty slots or those with unidentifiable contents are shown in grey
