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.
