The Editor

The Editor is a three-column program log editor. It lets you view any program log, search your music library, and make manual adjustments — inserting specific tracks, reordering lines, cutting entries — without leaving ClockWork. All changes are saved to disk automatically as you make them.

The Three Columns

The tab is divided by draggable dividers into three panels. You can resize them freely, subject to minimum widths (120px / 180px / 300px for log list / search / editor).

Left — Program Log List

Lists all files in your station's Program Logs folder, newest first. Click any filename to open that log in the editor on the right. The most recently generated log is selected automatically when you switch to the tab. The list updates automatically when files are added or removed from the folder.

Middle — Library Search

A folder dropdown and a search field for finding specific tracks from your music library to insert into the log.

Folder dropdown — lists the last path component of each folder in your library (e.g., "Accidental Hits," "Sweepers"), sorted alphabetically. "All Folders" shows the entire library. Select a folder to limit search results to that category.
Search field — type 3 or more characters and results update live. Searches all fields in each library entry — artist, title, comment, filepath, and any custom columns.
Results table — shows full file paths. Supports multi-select (Shift-click or Command-click).

Right — Log Editor

Shows every line of the selected program log, one line per row, in monospaced font with alternating white and light-gray row backgrounds — exactly as the file will appear to AutoCast. Every line is shown verbatim, including automation commands, time markers, comments, and blank lines.

Finding and Dragging Tracks

To insert a specific track from your library into a program log:

Use the folder dropdown and search field in the middle column to find the track.
Click to select it in the results table. For multiple tracks, Shift-click or Command-click to select several at once.
Drag the selected rows from the search results table into the editor on the right. A drop-line indicator shows exactly where the new lines will be inserted.
Release to drop. The tracks are inserted and the log is saved to disk immediately.

Editing Log Lines

Reordering Lines

Drag any row (or a multi-selection) within the editor table to reorder it. A drop-line indicator shows the destination. The file is saved when you release.

Right-Click Context Menu

Right-click any row in the editor to access these operations, all of which support multi-line selection:

Command	What it does
Copy	Copies the selected lines to the clipboard as plain text.
Cut	Copies and removes the selected lines.
Paste	Inserts the clipboard content below the currently selected row.
Clone	Duplicates the selected lines and inserts the copy immediately below.
Delete	Removes the selected lines permanently.
Adjust Text Size	Opens a text-size adjuster for the editor table only.

💡

The Editor responds to ⌘R library refresh — the folder dropdown is rebuilt and any stale search results are cleared automatically. If you add new music to your library while ClockWork is open, press ⌘R and then search again in The Editor to see the new tracks.

⚠️

All changes are saved immediately. There is no Undo in The Editor. If you accidentally delete or misplace lines, you'll need to regenerate the log from TuneStacker or restore from a backup.

Text Scaling

The Editor participates in the app-wide text scaling system (⌘+ / ⌘− / ⌘0). You can also adjust the editor column's text size independently using the "Adjust Text Size" option in the right-click menu — useful if you want the log content in a larger monospaced font without scaling the rest of the interface.
