Adding resource files to a session

There are two ways of adding resource files (e.g. audio, video etc.) to a session:

(1) The easiest way is to drag and drop a given element from the Working Directory to a session node. All information about the resource (e.g.. its size, type etc.) will be filled in automatically.

(2) It is also possible to add it by right clicking on a session node and choosing Add >Media File or Add > Written Resource. In the latter case however you will have to fill in manually the location of the file, its media type, format and size in the window that will appear.

Note that not all file types are archivable. If a file is not archivable, you will not be able to drag and drop it (any problem with the file will be illustrated by the icon).

It is also possible to add resources, either from a remote location, i.e. the archive or the web, manually. This can be done by right clicking on a node that supports a resource location (IMDI media file or written resource) select "insert manual resource location" and add the URL in the window that appears.

When adding multiple resources from the Working Directories to a session, they will get processed together and appear in a single result table.
