Working With Scenes

A scene is used to organize your libraries within a given project. A scene called "default" is automatically created with every new project. You can create as many scenes as needed per project.

Each Scene folder contains the following folders: For example, the grade metadata is stored in a file named grdxx.grade, where xx is the number of the grade file, and the cut metadata is in a file named cutname.cut, where cutname is the name of the cut.

To create a scene:

  1. In the Main menu, click Setup, and then click Scene.

    The Scene menu appears.

  2. Enter a name for the new scene in the Create Scene field. If there is already a name in the Create Scene field, delete it and then enter the new name. This does not affect the existing scene.
    Note: You can create a scene with the name of an existing sub-directory of the Project Home; in this case, Lustre recognizes the directory as a scene and places the required scene metadata directory inside it.
  3. Click Create.

    The new scene is added to the Scene list. It is highlighted in grey, indicating it is the currently selected scene.
