# Launch APS MIDI Manager.

# Wait while the program scans the folder and displays the list of files.

== Step 2: Review the MIDI File List ==
* The application displays a table with each file’s name and its current title.
* Files without an embedded title appear as **"No Title Available"**.

== Step 3: Edit the MIDI File Titles ==
* '''Individual Editing:'''
** Double‑click the title cell of the file you wish to rename.
** In the dialog that appears, enter the new title and confirm your change.
* '''Bulk Editing:'''
** Enable the **Bulk Edit** option.
** Click the **"..."** button in the table row to begin editing.
** Update the title directly and then click the check mark (✅) to confirm.

== Step 4: Save Your Changes ==
* '''Overwrite Original Files:'''
** Click the **Save** button to apply all pending title changes to the original files.
* '''Save As (Export to a New Folder):'''
** Open the save menu by clicking the drop‑down arrow on the **Save** button.
** Select **"Save As..."**.
** Choose a destination folder where the updated files will be saved.

== Step 5: (Optional) Mark Files for Deletion ==
* Click the deletion marker (e.g., the **X** or similar icon) next to any file you wish to remove.
* Confirm deletion when prompted.
* The marked files will be removed from the list after the changes are saved.

== Additional Options ==
* **Backup:** Enable the backup option to create a copy of each file before renaming.
* **MIDI Conversion:** Activate the conversion feature if you need to convert files from Type 1 to Type 0.
* **Filename Shortening:** Use the option to shorten filenames to the DOS 8.3 format when necessary.
