Managing media files

The NWare Media tab is used for importing and maintaining a list of files you plan to use in your project. The following types of files are supported.

Audio files

wav, mp3

Image files

bmp, jpg/jpeg, png, gif, tif/tiff, wmf, emf, svg

Kiosk2Go help files

csv

Audio files can be played back via the NION Wave File Player and nControl Media Player.

Notes:

Image files can be used to create backgrounds for pages in the design. If you are using Kiosk2Go, you can use images to customize the appearance of knobs, faders and other controls. For more information, see Skinning controls to improve their appearance.

Kiosk2Go help files store help text for controls, so that you do not need to add the text directly to each control in your design. This allows the help text to be produced and managed using an external help tool. The help text is linked to the Kiosk2Go controls using help IDs. For more information, see Adding help text using a topic file in the NWare User Guide.

Once the files have been imported, they will be available for selection on page and control properties.
