| Using
the History Panel |
| To
get to the history panel, click on the third tab at
the top of the JFuse window. The History Panel displays
all of the files you have merged. From here, you can
select a file and click on the "Play" button.
Or you can select a file, or multiple files, and either
delete them from the history, or delete them from your
hard drive. The difference between the two is, removing
a file from the history, will only tell JFuse not to
display it. Removing it from your hard drive basically
deletes the file. This also causes JFuse not to display
it. (You can select a range of files by clicking the
first file in the range, and hold down the shift key
while selecting the last file in the range. You can
select multiple files not in a range by holding down
the ctrl key while clicking on files.)

I merge files together,
but the file won't play, or it plays only the first
clip |
| If
it appears the files were merged, but it doesn't play,
or only the first clip plays, try switching to "Force

| I
am viewing the files through QuickTime, and they will
not play correctly, or I get an error. |
| The
newer versions of QuickTime have trouble playing some
'merged' files. Windows users can get around this by
using a host of media players, including RealPlayer
and Windows Media Player. Mac users can watch AVI files
through RealPlayer, or Windows Media Player for Mac.
To view MPEG files, you can use this player called VLC.
You can download it here.
It is a free program.

| I
get errors related to Java, or a message such as 'ClassDefNotFound',
'cannot find class'. |
| Java
is not correctly installed on your computer. Java is
needed for Jfuse to run, and we offer an installer with
Java bundled with it. It can be downloaded from the
download page. Back |
