Complete archives can be restored including multiple albums, or just specific albums/groups can be restored using the FotoAlbum Archive Restore Wizard. This feature allows you to choose the albums/groups that you wish to restore. This is useful when you wish to recover a large collection of images as opposed to merely viewing single archived images.
The FotoAlbum Archive Restore Wizard prompts for the location of the CD/DVD and then determines the archive that exists on that disc. If the archive is the one you wish to recover from, it will then display a tree of the albums and pictures that you can choose. The restore selection screen displays the changes necessary to fully recover the archive. You will only see the albums and images on the archive that are no longer on your PC. If you wish to see everything on the archive, click on the "Show all albums/pictures on the archive" checkbox.
This approach to restoring archives allows you to easily determine what images are on an archive and are no longer on your system. You can then choose what portions of the archive you wish to restore. Restoring albums or images from the archive does not change anything on the archive, nor does it change the fact that the pictures exist in the archive.
