Replacement For Iview Media Pro Code Catalog Items

You can import a folder containing many different file types and have iView MediaPro only import image files.

Files can be labeled, categorized, voice annotated, renamed, copied, or moved individually or in batches.

Just drag that folder to the desired location on a hard drive.

You create a filled catalog by selecting Import Media from the File menu.

The two submenus let you import individual files or entire folders of files or (if you use OS X) images stored in a digital camera.

The main iView MediaPro catalog window has three views (selected via tabs): Content, Thumbnail, and Media.

All three views contain tabs and a toolbar at the top (these can be hidden); information on the selected file(s) on the left side (which also can be hidden); a viewing area to the right that contains a file list, thumbnails, or a full-sized image (or font sample); and a status bar on the bottom with a pop-up menu containing choices relevant to the current view.

File information includes the type of file (image, movie, font, sound, etc.), its size, the application used to create it, its Macintosh file type (PICT, text, MooV, etc.), encoding (PhotoJPEG, TrueType, MP3, etc.), and creation, modification, and archived dates.

Media information includes encoding (again), image dimensions, resolution, bit depth, compression ratio, color space (RGB or CMYK), color profile, and number of pages.

For text files, it includes the number of paragraphs and characters.

Device information only applies to images and includes maker, model, software, and format.

Photo lists the EXIF version, FlashPix version, capture date, and a long list of camera-specific information such as shutter speed, aperture, focal length, lens, flash mode, etc.

The In Sets category displays which set the file belongs to within the catalog.

Besides these predefined fields, iView MediaPro allows you to add up to 16 custom fields.

You can select a subset of images, for example, and perform batch operations on the subset.

These operations can include creating labels, adding or changing file information such as keywords, playing a slide show, rotating images, and so on.

You can hide the toolbar or information areas, change the background color behind thumbnails and images, change the font and color of the file labels, choose which information fields will be displayed, etc.

The Preferences window has five tabs: General, Helpers, Scratch, Images, and Fonts.

General preferences control file handling and format information options.

Helpers lists applications used to view, play, or decode catalog items.

You can add applications to this list, which allows you to assign files to different applications than the ones that created them.

Scratch displays the location of iView MediaPros hard disk scratch file.

The default location is the drive containing the System Folder.

Images controls rendering options and color conversion choices.

Fonts has settings for adjusting the display of fonts in thumbnail and media views.
