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.
