=====SD0 Import/Export=====

The SD0 import and export functions are only of use, if the DataSet is not [[User Guide/Dataset/Linked and unlinked DataSet files|linked]]. Additionally, these functions are rather confusingly named; the [[User Guide/Dataset/SD0 Files|SD0]] format is the metadata format used in versions of S_TOOLS-STx prior to the introduction of XML (i.e. versions before 3.0). SD0 importing only takes place if there no associated XML metadata file exists.

'''Automatic Import'''

SD0 files can be automatically imported when starting S_TOOLS-STx. Check the Workspace menu items Special > Soundfile > SD0 Update > Auto-Load and Special > Soundfile > SD0 Update > Auto-Save (by default, these items are checked). To prevent automatic import/export, uncheck these menu items.

'''Importing SD0 files'''

Import all SD0 files corresponding to AFile entries in the DataSet from the Workspace menu Special > Soundfile > SD0 Update > Load.

'''Exporting SD0 files'''

Exporting SD0 files is no longer supported.

Please see [[User Guide/Dataset/Importing and Exporting DataSet Metadata|Importing and Exporting DataSet Metadata]] for details about importing and exporting the current metadata format.
