Search templates are named components used to generate URLs to be issued when searching the web for album artwork. Every template must be given a unique name. The order of the templates in the list controls the order of the Artwork>Search for Artwork menu items. You can choose to always keep the list sorted. If you do not keep the list always sorted, you can drag and drop templates to change the order and you can click on the column header to force alphabetic ascending or descending order.
Templates can be marked as hidden. When a template is hidden it does not appear on search template menus. This is useful when a template is used in an action but is not intended to be run directly.
To create a new template click the + button.
To remove templates, select one or more templates in the table and click the - button under the rightmost table button.
To duplicate a template, select a single template in the table and click the ❐ button.
To view and/or modify a template, select a single template in the table and click the ✎ button. Double-clicking on a template name will have the same effect.
To export one or more templates so that they can later be imported, select one or more templates in the table and click the ⇒ button.
If you have a search template that you often use and you want to place it on the toolbar you can do so. Essentially the Action 1, Action 2, ... Action 10 toolbar buttons can be associated with any action. An action consisting of a single Search for Artwork statement can easily be created. As a convenience you can automatically create the action and associate it with a toolbar icon. From the context menu choose Set as Toolbar Action #. An action named Search: template name will be created and will be associated with the specified toolbar icon. The action will be marked as hidden as there is no advantage to invoke it from the actions menu. A Set as Toolbar Action # menu item with a checkmark implies that the toolbar icon is currently associated with an action.
