Browsing files by category, rating, auto category, or
classification
The Organize pane displays a list of categories, ratings, auto
categories, and special classifications. You can also use the
Easy-Select bar to select a combination of categories, ratings,
auto categories, and special classifications.
Easy-Select bars are vertical columns of check boxes on the left
side of the Folders and Organize panes. You can use the Easy-Select
bars to select multiple folders or categories, and display their
contents in the File List pane. You can also use the Easy-Select
bars with the Selective Browsing pane.
The images and media files display in the File List pane, but
are not moved from folder to folder -- categories, ratings, auto
categories, and special classifications work independently of file
location.
To view organized files:
Select one or more categories, ratings,
auto categories, or special classifications. Files assigned to
those classifications are displayed in the File List pane.
The Contents bar at the top of the File List pane displays your
currently selected categories or classifications. You can browse
through specific classifications within specific folders using the
Selective Browsing pane.
To use the Easy-Select bar:
In the Organize pane, select the check
box to the left of each item with contents you want to display.
Organize pane classifications
The Organize pane contains the following classification areas:
Categories, Ratings, and Special Items.
Categories
You can use categories to organize and group your files without
creating extra copies or moving files into different folders. You
can create new categories, edit categories, delete existing
categories, and assign multiple categories to files.
Ratings
You can assign a numerical rating from 1 to 5 to your images and
files, and store the ratings in the database. Once you have
assigned ratings, you can search, sort, and organize your files
based on the ratings.
Auto Categories
When you click on an auto category, ACDSee searches for images
belonging to that category. You can select one or more
categories.
Special Items
You can use Special Items to quickly view all of the images in
your database and any uncategorized images. Select one of the
following items:
-
Image Well
(ALL Images): displays all images cataloged in the ACDSee
database. If you have a substantial image collection, it may take a
few moments to gather all of the information.
-
Uncategorized: displays any images
cataloged in the database that have not been assigned to a
category.
You can assign a rating or category to any type of file, but the
options in the Special Items area only apply to images.
