This view displays devices you created and manages them. Please read the Using Devices page to learn about devices principles.
Note you can also create Folder devices using the quick start devices wizard (top menu -> help -> Device wizard).
In the lower part of the Devices view, you will find devices you created. The green arrow on the bottom of a device means it is now mounted.
This is not an actual device but a shortcut to create a new
one. Please click on it to create a new Device.
Data CDROM
Folder from your hard disk
Network drive (Netbios/Samba/NFS...). Under Windows, use
drive
letter path (like T:\...) and not network favorites path or UNC
paths.
MP3 Player
External Hard Disk or storage device like USB keys (mainly on
USB or Firewire)
Remote P2P Jajuk device (not yet implemented)
Contextual menu on devices features (please read the Using Devices page if you don't understand the actions):
Mount: Mount this device
Unmount: Unmount this device
Test: Test if this device is available
Force Refresh: Perform a forced refresh on this device to read tags again.
Synchronize: (available only if this device is configured to synchronize with another device)
Remove device: Remove this device from your collection. No data will be deleted from your hard disk. You can set a confirmation dialog (is the default) in Parameter view / Confirmations tab.
Configuration: Manage device configuration
The Control panel in the upper part of this view features (please read the Using Devices page if you don't understand the actions):
Create a new device (you can also click on the "New"
device)
Remove selected device from your collection. No data will be
deleted from your hard disk. You can set a confirmation dialog (is
the default) in Parameter view / Confirmations tab.
Display selected device properties and change some
configuration.
Mount selected device
Unmount selected device
Test selected device to check if it is available
Force refresh for selected device to read tags again.
Synchronize selected device (available only if this device is
configured to synchronize with another device)
If you don't understand Jajuk device notions like mounting, refreshing or synchronizing, please read the Using Devices page.
This window appears when you create a new device or when you update some properties of an existing device. You can show device properties by double clicking on it, by using contextual menu/ Get Properties or by selecting the device and using the Properties button in the Control Pane. It features:
Device type combo box (Cannot be changed after creation): choose the device type you wish to create.
Device name (Cannot be changed after creation): Enter name of the device. For example "CD A" for a CD or "Laptop" for a directory.
Device location (Cannot be changed after creation): full path to the device. For example "/data/music" under Unix or "d:\music" under Windows. You can use the directory selector using the button on the right.
Unix mount point (only under Linux/Unix). This is optional and allows Jajuk trying to perform a system "mount" command if required when mounting a device. For example, if you want to mount a CD device whose Unix mount point is /mnt/cdrom and that CD is not Unix mounted, Jajuk will try to mount it by itself. Note however that this should be useless with last Linux distributions that perform auto-mount.
"Refresh every (min)": set refreshing frequency for jajuk to scan device searching for new or removed files (0: no automatic refresh). Defaults: 0.5 min for a directory-type device (hard drive), 0 for a CD, 5 mins for network drives, 3 mins for external hard disks or players.
"Perform an instant refresh" (default = true): Perform a device refresh immediately after creating the device. This is recommended. Note that this should take a while, especially for the first time.
"Auto mount at startup" (checked by default for some types): Perform an auto-mount when starting Jajuk. This is recommended for directories or eventually external devices if always plugged but avoid this for CD or devices that can be unplugged or changed quite often.
Synchronized with combo box: If you have more than one device, you will be able to synchronize them. The current device is the target device and the other one the source device.
"Unidirectional synchronization": all new files from the source device are copied to this device.
"Bidirectional synchronization": all new files from one device are copied to the other.
Notes:
You can ignore recursively some directories when performing synchronization (if the two synchronized devices have not the same capacity for example) by desynchronizing directories in the Physical tree/ contextual menu on directories.
Synchronization never performs deletes so if you renames some files on the source device, you will get both older and newer version in the target device after synchronization.
