RE: Re: [OFFICIAL] - The NEW user forum

Please Caissa,
Just tell me one thing.

How would you search in Outlook for all threads pertaining imagem managemen=
t
(I thing I've tried to do in the past without good results)? I see several
problems on this:
- AFAIK, Outlook search dialog doesn't match documents that contain the two
search words spread in the body of one mail (like web search engines do, fo=
r
example)
- Not all people call "image management" issues that precise words I can
think of ("image cataloging", "picture management", "files workflow", "imag=
e
categories", ad nauseum)

As you say users are now "forced" to use the new forum, displeasing some
users, in the past users were "forced" to use the mailinglist, displeasing
others...

You bought the software not the mailinglist thing. If you want support,
Photools has a support email.

The users who like the new forum best, use it. The users who like the
mailing list best, use it. Even if photools ceases the mailing list, I thin=
k
anyone can start another!

Good pics!

Personally I don't like the new forum one bit. IT is MUCH harder to use and
now I must use the Forum to read some things and the Yahoo groups for
others. Before everything came to Outlook as individual emails and was much
easier to track and use when all was in one place. I don't understand why
this added complexity has to be forced on the user? Perhaps someone can
enlighten me and convince me that it is good. The better search is not
enough, I had that in Outlook.

You can get individual "messages" one for each started thread using the RSS
feature. Search in the IMatch forum or the FAQ for "RSS".

You have several free stand alone readers ("WildGrape NewsDesk" or
"ActiveWebReader") or some non-free MS Outlook integrated reader (NewsGator=
,
which I'm evaluating right now). And there are many other solutions for
reading RSS content.

You can also syndicate and receive news from DPReview and CNN channels and
many, many more.

Have fun

Hi Ruth,

You can not get individual emails but you can get four digests per day.

I'll add a sample to the botton of this message.

Mario, thank you. I am aware of this option in the slide show.But there are
tabs=20
at the bottom on the left side of the interface - Database, Categories,=20
Selections, View. So I have selected the image and then clicked on the View
tab,=20
now it shows cached imaged but there is no 'i' option.


Thanks!

BTW, where do "How do I...?" questions go? in this forum or in the Tips
&=20
Tricks forum?

I have a number of images in my database which have an area in the image
that I=20
want to duplicate as a separate image. E.g. I'd like to do the following:
   (a) pull up the image in a plain-vanilla-editor (either Imatch's builtin=
,
or=20
in Irfanview)
   (b) crop the image to show only the area I want
   (c) save image
   (d) pull into database
   (e) copy all properties/categories of the original image, either
manually, or=20
using a macro I haven't written yet.

This process seems rather cumbersome. Is there a better way?

(possible feature request: A "virtual crop" would be nice, e.g. you select
an=20
image, manually define a crop area, and Imatch creates a new entry in the=20
database which is the original image cropped in the way you specify. For=20
example, if you had a 10MB image file with a slight crop, it wouldn't creat=
e
a=20
new file on your disk, just an entry in the database that explains how to=20
display the image from the original image. Not sure if the performance hit
would=20
make this not useful.)

I'll echo that too. Makes it a lot easier to see where the new posts are

read threads as a unified thread (Rather than individual messages).

I have created database properties but can not edit them - edit icon is
grey'ed=20
out.  Also, is it possible to change the sequense of the properties?

Thanks!

Hi kitoboi,

Try closing IMatch and starting it again. If the edit icon is still grayed
out,=20
I don't know what to suggest.

It is not possible to change the sequence of properties except be removing
them=20
and entering them again in the desired sequence. Doing so will result in th=
e

loss of anything that you have entered. The next major upgrade of IMatch
will=20
fix that but for now you are locked in.

Hey, maybe not. I believe that there is a script that will write properties
to=20
IPTC. If your image format will allow IPTC, you could:
1) Copy your properties to IPTC, say supplemental categories.
2) Remove properties as needed.
3) Enter the properties in the desired sequence.
4) Use IPTC Import to get your data back into properties.

kitoboi,

you can pull up the category splasher with crtl+alt+A, you can turn on the=
=20
property fields with ctrl+5 and turn on splashers with ctrl+6.

Interestingly enough though it only works if I run my screen on a high=20
resolution (1600x1024). It does not work when I have it at 1024x768.

If you are running your screen at a lower resolution you might want to use
the=20
Image Reviewer (F11). It is a very similar display, but maybe too little
screen=20
real estate devoted to the image.

Let me know what works on your machine.

I don't think you missed anything. All external media will show as a
seperate=20
folder per disk, DVD, tape, etc. And all offline folders show on top of you=
r

hardrive folder.

So, yes, if you have 100 DVDs you will see 100 folders on top of your
hardrive=20
folder. You can give them meaningful names though and it becomes easy to
scan=20
through.
