Selecting Media to Catalog

By default, the Catalog Media panel will include all records in a collection.  As a collection grows, it may be desirable to select a subset for cataloging.  The Select Media panel offers a bird’s eye view of your Personal Collection, presenting labeled thumbnails of all entries, making it easier to select the set of entries to be cataloged during the current session.

To select an entry, click on its thumbnail.  A white box will appear around the entry.  You can select as many or as few entries as you like.  Clicking a selected entry will un-select it (the white box will disappear).  You may page backwards and forwards through the collection as you make your selection.

Buttons at the bottom of the panel offer quick ways to select the entire collection, all entries on the current page, or to clear your selection.

When you have selected the entries that you would like to catalog, press Catalog Media.

Action Buttons Available to You

• (first page) -- to page back to the beginning of the collection.

• (previous page) -- to go back to the previous page of thumbnails.

• (next page) -- to go forward to the next page of thumbnails.

• (last page) -- to page forward to the last page of the collection.

• -- adds all images on the current page to the select list (including any scrolled out of view).

• -- adds all images in the collection to the select list.

• -- clears the select list.  This option is useful when a collection is large and it is hard to find the item that you wish to exclude from your select list.  Sometimes it is just easier to start over.  Clear the list using  "select none" and begin selection anew.
