Favorites
The favorites list collects some files (often MIDI or MP3 files) that are often used by the user. It should be quicklier to find and open those files than using File open.

The toolbar shows the button FAV deeper if the current document file is in the favorites list and higher if not.  
Temporary result files (new*.*) can not be added to favorites before storing them using file/Save as.  
Clicking on the FAV toolbar button (or using PLUS short key) adds current file path to the favorites list. If the file was already in the file list the user will be asked if the file should be removed from the list.

The dialog displays a sorted list with files currently in the favorites list. Enter a search pattern to reduce the displayed entries matching the search pattern.  
The search pattern can be a word sub part (e.g. love) or a sub part wildcard expression (e.g. we*love). The characters match lower and upper characters.  
Search priorities:  
1. try to match only filenames without extension and without folder path (e.g. Hunting High And Low)  
2. try to match filenames including extension without folder path (e.g. Hunting High And Low.mp3)  
3. match full filename including path (e.g. c:\music\A-ha\Hunting High And Low.mp3)  
Hint: The rules with lower priority are only used if the pattern does not match any entry with a higher priority rule (e.g. a pattern will not be searched in folder path if the pattern is already found in any song file name).  
 
Select one or some entries and use OK button to open them.  
Warning: Opening too many files at once is not recommended!
