Viewing offline images
ACDSee stores thumbnails and database information for images
contained on CDs or other removable media as Photo Discs. You can
then browse the thumbnails and view the information for those
images even when the disc is not in your CD-ROM drive.
To add a Photo Disc:
-
Place a disc containing images into your
CD-ROM drive.
-
Do one of the following:
-
If Device Detector is active, follow
the steps to create an ACDSee Photo Disc.
-
If Device Detector is not active,
click File | New, and then select Photo Disc.
-
In the New Disc dialog box, type a name
for your disc in the Title
field, and then click OK.
-
You can then browse the contents of the
Photo Disc in the Offline Media section of the Folders pane.

If you add or remove images from a disc that you
have already added to ACDSee as a Photo Disc, you can update the
information stored in the database. Insert the disc in your CD-ROM
drive, and then right-click the name of the disc in the Folders
pane and select Update Photo Disc.

By default, ACDSee identifies Photo Discs by their serial
numbers. This is the most reliable setting to use when working with
Photo Discs, particularly if you are importing or converting Photo
Discs from previous versions of ACDSee.
However, if you are working with, or planning to work with,
multi-session discs, the serial number may be regenerated or
changed each time you change the contents of a disc. Therefore, the
volume label is the required method of identification for
multi-session Photo Discs.
Rebinding Photo Discs
Depending on the method used to identify Photo Discs, ACDSee may
encounter a Photo Disc that it does not recognize. This is most
common when you are using the serial number method to identify
Photo Discs and you insert a multi-session disc. ACDSee may not
recognize the disc, as serial numbers are likely to change when
updating a multi-session disc.
You can use the Rebind option to update the identification
information, and associate the correct database information with
your disc.
To rebind a Photo Disc to its ACDSee
database information:
-
In the Rebind Photo Disc dialog box,
carefully review the Current disc information to be sure that the
correct disc is in the drive.
-
Select the Photo Disc record that you want
to rebind to the current disc from the Photo Disc Name list.
-
Click Rebind.
