Walkthrough

The process of preparing images is straightforward :

#	Recommendation	Reason
R1	Use specific and descriptive filenames and folder names	The Moulinette search relies primarily on directory and file names. Instead of naming your directory Variants use night-and-rain". Take inspiration from the terminology used by Forgotten Adventures on their live gallery.
R2	Avoid deep folder structures	Excessively deep folder structures may cause the displayed path (in FoundryVTT) to wrap on more than one line.
R3	Avoid special characters	It is recommended to avoid using special characters, such as quotes, in folder and music/sound names. While spaces can be used, they may cause issues for those using S3 integration in FoundryVTT. Instead, it is suggested to use dashes (-) to separate words.

Below are the optimization operations that are automatically executed by Moulinette :

#	Operation
O1	All music and sounds in AAC format are converted to OGG format
O2	The duration of each music and sound is extracted as metadata
O3	An excerpt of 15 seconds (00:30 - 00:45) is extracted from each music track. This excerpt will be used to promote the music on Moulinette Marketplace.
