4.6 The ScratchPad
The ScratchPad is your permanent working
accessory that is visible in all working modes. The ScratchPad acts as history
and as clipboard during your LiveSupport session. As such, the Scratchpad is
more responsive and wieldy than the Media Library, and you can use it to load
all the materials you think you may need during your session. The ScratchPad
also provides you with the list of all files (audio clips, webstreams and
playlists) you have worked with recently. The ScratchPad can be loaded from all
search and adding tools.

ScratchPad. If you click on the check box in the header of the table, all
items will be selected. Selected files can be manipulated via the pulldown
menu at the bottom of the ScratchPad
- The Title column lists the name of items
(audioclips, webstreams, or playlists).
- The Duration column lists the length of
each item
- The Type column contains icons that
indicate what type of item you are looking at. These can be audioclips,
playlists or webstreams. audioclips are marked with a green note,
playlists with a red note and webstreams with a blue transmission symbol.
If you move the mouse over an item, more information (metadata) will be
displayed.
