Always Check Duplicates
3The PictureBank Folder must be in the same folder as the PictureBank application itself. PictureBank creates a new PictureBank Folder and all the required subfolders if it can't find them. The PictureBank Folder and its subfolders can be replaced by aliases if you need to move them to a different location.

This folder contains a series of folders that match the ones in the Archives folder. Each of these folders contains the previews for all the images in a given source folder.
K{This folder receives all the image files that are dragged from an Internet browser an dropped onto the PictureBank palette.
This folder receives the temporary PICT files created by PictureBank for printing purposes when the original images are not in the PICT format. PictureBank automatically takes care of the folder contents. You should never move images to this folder because they would be deleted.
The Archives folder contains the folders where all the images are stored. Aliases are allowed, whereas single files and nested subfolders are ignored here.
The aliases can point to folders on other disks, typically removable media, or to entire volumes like CD-ROMs.
When drag&drop is used to add new items to a database, PictureBank automatically creates the required folder aliases in the Archives folder. The aliases can be updated or replaced by the original items without disturbing PicturB
eBank.
Archivio
Always Create Previews
If this option is selected, PictureBank immediately creates a preview for every image file when it adds a new record to the FileMaker Pro database. This makes the process slower, but all the previews are available right away.
If this option is not selected, no previews are created while adding new records to the database. They are created as necessary when PictureBank needs to display them, or all together when the user chooses the "Update Previews" menu command.
Archivio
Preferences...
If this option is selected, PictureBank checks for duplicate items before adding records to the frontmost FileMaker Pro database. An item is considered to be a duplicate if both the PB Image Name and PB Image Source fields match those of an existing record. If a given item already exists, the newly added one is ignored and no new record is created for it.
If this option is not selected, all image files are added to the database without checking for duplicates. This makes the process fast
1er when you add new images that couldn't possibly be in the database before.
WARNING
The check for duplicate items only takes into account the frontmost FileMaker Pro database. If you use more than one database with PictureBank, the same image can be added to all of them even if this option is selected.

Comandi
Show Record in FM
Brings up a preferences dialog where you can choose your image editor/viewer and set the Slide Show timing.
The "Open with Editor/Viewer" command opens image files directly with a user-specified application; the image file to open can be the one selected in a Catalog window, or the one displayed in the PictureBank palette, or even the image that's currently visible during a Slide Show. The application, typically a graphics editor such as Adobe Photoshop, can be specified in the Preferenc
es window through its 4-character application signature (for example, '8BIM' for Photoshop). If you don't know the 4-character signature of your graphics editor, the Choose button will figure it out for you.
You can move back and forth during a Slide Show using the mouse and the keyboard commands, or you can set up an automatic times that displays the next image after a given time has elapsed. Note that the automatic timer does not disable the mouse and keyboard, so you can use the two
methods together.
Comandi
Show Image
Displays the image that's visible in the PictureBank palette or selected in a catalog. The image can be enlarged or reduced by command-clicking and option-clicking, and scrolled by dragging the mouse. The zoom factor can also be chosen from the Commands menu.
The original image must be available for this command to work. If the image file was deleted or stored on an unmounted disk, PictureBank won
t be able to show it.
Images are stored in offscreen GWorlds when there's enough free memoBury, and read directly from disk if memory is tight. In the latter case, image scrolling and redrawing is much slower.
Comandi
Show Full Screen
Works much like the "Show Image" command , except the menu bar is hidden and the image is resized to fit in the full screen display.
Comandi
Open with Editor/Viewer
Shows the FileMaker record that's linked to the image which is currently selected or visible in PictureBank. If more than one image is selected in a catalog window, only the first one is shown. FileMaker's current found set is preserved, unless the record can't be found there and the user agrees to find all records and repeat the search.
To use a Catalog window's current selection as the found set in FileMaker, use the "Find selection in FM" comand from the Catalog menu.

Finder Actions
The following comands work on the image that's visible in the PictureBank palette, or on the first image that's selected in a catalog, or on the current Slide Show item.
Reveal File
Opens the folder that contains the original image file and selects the file.
Open File
Opens the original image file with the application that created it. This is the same as double-clicking the image file in the Finder.
Print File
Prints the original image file with the application that created it. This is
the same as selecting an image file in the Finder and choosing "Print" from the "File" menu.
Information
Shows the Finder information for an image file. This is the same as selecting an image file in the Finder and choosing "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
Comandi
Open Folder
Opens image files directly with a user-specified application; the image file to open can be the one selected in a Catalog window, or the one displayed in the PictureBank palette, or even the image that's currently visible during a Slide Show. The application, typically a graphics editor such as Adobe Photoshop, can be specified in the Preferences window.
The image can be modified and saved in the Editor application. You can then update its preview with the Update Preview menu command or B
with the button in the PictureBank palette. PictureBank doesn't automatically check for changes, so you must update the preview manually whenever you edit the original image file.
Comandi
Lets you choose a zoom factor for images displayed with the "Show Image" command. The images can also be enlarged or reduced by command-clicking and option-clicking.

Comandi
Update this preview
Rebuilds the preview for the current image. Note that this command also works when a Slide Show or Full Screen image is being displayed.
Comandi
Update Previews
These commands open the various PictureBank folders in the Finder:
Documents
This is where images dragged from an Internet browser are stored.
Archives
This folder contains the folders or the aliases to the folders that contain the original image files.
Previews
This folder contains the folders where all the image previews are stored. These folders and their contents are automatically handled by PictureBank. You can use the Update Previews command to delete unused folders and previews.
PictureBank
This is the main folder where all the above folders are stored. Note that all files and folders in the hierarchy can be replaced by aliases if you want to store the original items somewhere else, for example on a separate disk.
Application
This is the folder where the PictureBank application itself is stored. It should also contain the main PictureBank folder or an alias to it.
All these folders are automatically created by PictureBank when it is first launched. If they ar
<e moved, PictureBank creates new empty ones and the existing links are no longer available. To get the links back to work, you can move PictureBank along with the folders, or move the folders back to the PictureBank folder, or create an alias in the PictureBank folder that points to the new location of the folders.
Opens a catalog window containing the previews of all the records in FileMaker's current found set. The previews are displayed in the same sorting order they had in FileMaker.
To cut down the catalog to a few chosen items, use the Trim to Selection and Clear Selection commands. The Delete and Clear keys can also be used to remove the currently selected items.
To make a contiguous selection of more than one item, hold down the Shift key as you click the mouse, or type a shift-arrow key c
ombination. To make a noncontiguous selection, hold down the Command key as you click the mouse.
" character is visible under the window title when the catalog has been modified since it was created or opened.
Use the Save and Save As commands to save a catalog to disk. The catalog file can be reopened and used without FileMaker, as long as the PictureBank Folder still contains all the required links to the original image files. Note that the catalog file doesn't contain the image p
database.
Delete aliases to unused archives
Deletes aliases to unused archives, i.e. archives that don't contain any of the images referenced in the FileMaker database.
Ignore archives on unmounted disks
Ignores all records whose original image file is stored on an unmounted disk (typically an offline CD-ROM or some other removable media). This is useful if you don't want PictureBank to ask for every unmounted disk that contains one of the original files.
