IMAGEAXS PRO MACINTOSH USER’S GUIDE
FILE TYPE ICONS
The file type icon for a data record indicates the type of the source file
and whether the source file is online. It appears to the left of the
thumbnail caption for each record in the Thumbnails View, and at the
left end of the data row for each record in the Text List View.
The terms online and offline refer to whether ImageAXS Pro is able to
find the source file for a record. For example, a source file located on
a network drive that is not currently connected to your computer
will be offline in ImageAXS Pro.
Offline source files are indicated by a red “X” through the file type
icon for the record. You cannot open the Source File View for records
that are offline; in addition, you cannot copy, move, rename, delete,
or edit the source files for these records. (For non-multimedia files,
you will not be able to open the source file from within ImageAXS
Pro.) For information on updating the location of offline source files,
see “Updating Records” on page 11-5.
File location pop-up window
NOTE
Click the file type icon to display the Finder location of the source file in a
pop-up window. Select the file name from this pop-up window to open the
source file in its original application, or select a disk or folder name to open
that disk or folder in the Finder.
CHANGING THE BACKGROUND COLOR
ImageAXS Pro offers a choice of backgrounds, either of which is
applied to all windows in the program. The default Dark Gray
background, with text and buttons in light gray, is often preferred for
viewing images. You may find the Light Gray background, with text
and buttons in black, more useful for reading text information.
Use the ImageAXS Pro Preferences dialog box to change the
background color of all ImageAXS Pro windows at any time.
