MAGEAXS PRO
Use ImageAXS Pro not just to see and describe the source files in
your collections, but to manage them as well. When you open,
move, or rename a file from within ImageAXS Pro instead of the
Finder, you will always be sure you are working with the right file.
ImageAXS Pro also makes it easier to select groups of records (for
example, by searching) for easier and more accurate organizing.
In addition, when you move, copy, or rename source file using
ImageAXS Pro, the program updates each data record automatically,
saving you the extra steps that would be required if you had used the
Finder. And because the source files remain online, you can keep
using and viewing the files in ImageAXS Pro without interruption.
EDITING SOURCE
F
ILES
You can use ImageAXS Pro to open a source file in either its default
editing application or an alternate application that you select (if the
source file is an image, movie, sound, or 3D file; see “Selecting an
Alternate Editing Application” on page 12-3).
To edit a source file in its default editing application:
STEP 1 Select the record(s) whose source files you want to edit.
Each record is outlined in red to show that it is selected.
STEP 2 Choose Edit Source File from the Source File menu.
The source file for each record you selected will be opened
in its default editing application.
