A number of pictures at once

PhoA supports editing picture data for any number of pictures simultaneously. For this page the following simple scheme used:

  • If some property is the same across all the selected pictures, then the corresponding entry field will be of white color (or of window color to be precise).
  • If a property's values differ between selected pictures, the corresponding field will be of gray color (or of 3D-objects' color). If you change this field's data the property will be synced for all selected pictures, and the field will become white. Otherwise the property values will remain unchanged (and different, respectively).

You may search pictures by these data afterwards.

This operation supports undo
