2. Enter your search criteria and then click the Saved searches icon.

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: Displays all images cataloged in the ACDSee Pro database. If you have a substantial image collection, it may

take a few moments to gather all of the information.

Embed Pending: Displays all the files with database data that has changed but has not yet been embedded in the files.

Uncategorized: Displays any images cataloged in the database that have not been assigned to a category.

Tagged: Displays all the tagged photos on the computer.

You can assign a rating or category to any type of file, but the options in the Special Items area only apply to images.

The ACDSee Pro database and embedded data

When you assign a file to a rating, or category, this information is stored in the ACDSee Pro database. If you choose to, you can also

embed this information in each individual file, making it easier to relocate and share files, or retrieve the information from the file if

you need to. As the database, information is always associated with a particular file. If you move or rename files using an application

other than ACDSee Pro (like Windows Explorer) the link between the file and the ACDSee Pro database will be broken. If this

happens, and you have embedded the information in each file, you can rebuild the database and retrieve all the information.

You can also use the Properties pane to add information to the ACDSee Pro database like captions, keywords and much more. Taking

the time to assign categories and add keywords, notes, etc., makes it much easier to find and organize your files.

ACDSee Pro uses XMP to embed ACDSee Metadata into each file. Only some file formats and file extensions support XMP.

These include GIF, JPEG, DNG, PNG, and TIF. In the case of these file formats, the ACDSee Metadata is embedded inside the

file and so you can rename or move the file outside of ACDSee Pro and still be able to retrieve the ACDSee Metadata. For

formats that currently do not support XMP, including RAW, PSD, ABR, the ACDSee Metadata is written to a sidecar file that

is stored in the same folder as its file. Because a sidecar file is separate from the file itself, you need to rename or move

them together, or you could lose the ACDSee Metadata permanently.

Easy-Select bars

The Easy-Select bars are the indicators on the left side of the Folders and Catalog panes. You can use the Easy-Select indicators to

select multiple folders or categories, and display their contents in the File List pane. In the Catalog pane you can also use the Easy-

Select indicators to select combinations of categories, ratings, auto categories, saved searches, and special items. For example, you

could display all your photos with a rating of 1 that belonged to the category People.

You can also use the Easy-Select indicators with the Selective Browsing pane (View | Selective Browsing).

When you use the Match Any/All buttons and the Easy-Select indicators together, the Catalog pane becomes a powerful search tool

for finding unique sets of files.

To use the Easy-Select bar:
