System Files

Following is the list of auxiliary files installed/created by DART XP Pro to support certain system functions. If these files are deleted or corrupted outside DART XP Pro (intentionally or by mistake) certain pieces of information will be lost and/or the system will behave differently than described.

dartwin.hlp

directory : DART XP Pro home directory

content : DART XP Pro help topics and context help; when this file is missing the help items are not available (to restore it install DART XP Pro again).

dartwin.stp

directory : DART XP Pro home directory

content : system settings as fixed in the Preferences dialog available from the Options menu; this file is updated each time you save system settings.

autogrp.dgr

directory : DART XP Pro home directory

content : details of a group of files (names, source/destination assignment, synchronization details, cursor, marker and frame positions, time resolution and scale settings etc) open at the time of quitting DART XP Pro; if the Autosave option is switched on (c.f. the Preferences dialog available from the Options menu) the files comprising the last-used group are automatically loaded when you restart the system.

dartwin.eql

directory : DART XP Pro home directory

content : nine fabric equalization presets and up to thirty user-defined presets; when this file is missing all equalization presets are lost (to restore fabric presets install DART XP Pro again).

dartwin.rev

directory : DART XP Pro home directory

content : nine fabric reverb presets and up to thirty user-defined presets; when this file is missing all reverb presets are lost (to restore fabric presets install DART XP Pro again).

dartwin.fbd

directory : DART XP Pro home directory

content : structure and presets of user-defined complex restoration filters.

dartwin.pat

directory : DART XP Pro home directory

content : up to sixteen signal and/or noise patterns saved using the Find pattern dialog.

dartwin.svs

directory : DART XP Pro home directory

content : Spectral view settings.

dartwin.npl

directory : DART XP Pro home directory

content : information about noiseprints (including half a second noise samples for listening tests).

number.npt

directory : DART XP Pro home directory

content : noiseprints exported/imported from the DART XP Pro noiseprint archive.

groupname.dgr

directory : working directory

content : details of a group of open files (names, source/destination assignment, synchronization details, cursor, marker and frame positions, time resolution and scale settings etc).

listname.wmn

directory : working directory

content : information about files comprising a playlist (created by DART CD-Recorder).

filename.inf

directory : working directory

content : information about a registered soundfile (source, generation information, processing details, statistical data, comments); if , due to accidental deleting, one or more such files are missing DART XP Pro may behave in a 'strange' manner, e.g., the Soundfile Manager may inform you that the impaired soundfiles do not belong to a given audio tree. Should anything like this happen, simply open the corresponding Audio tree dialog and close it again. When opening an audio tree DART XP Pro checks it for completeness and, if necessary, generates the missing <*.inf> files (information contained in the original files is not restored).

rootname.sfm

directory : working directory

content : information about a structure of an audio tree; accidental erasing of this file may cause a lot of confusion as DART XP Pro will regard the root and all derivative soundfiles as unregistered files (even if their names suggest something different). Since information about the original tree structure (the list of parent-child relationships) is destroyed along with <*.sfm> all processing details will be lost or not available - even if the corresponding <*.inf> files still exist. If you want to establish a new audio tree with the same root proceed as follows: 1) delete all files comprising a corrupted audio tree (<*.wav>, <*.det>, <*.inf>) except the root soundfile 2) register the root soundfile again.
