I'll use the
Motorcars catalogue done by John (Cat1
and Cat4).
A word of note was the easy way in which it
transferred and opened in my software - truly
exportable. John has stored his images in
removable media (CD-Rom Discs) and used One Disc
for each make of Motorcar. So Disc No. 1
contains images of the 'Alfa Romeo' make only.
'Audi' is stored in Disc No. 2, and so on.
|
|
|
Looking at the
data fields, I pick the Disc No. field to use in
my tutorial contribution. I will be using the
symbols "<" (Less) and ">" (More) in my
searches.
|
|
|
Searches can be
done by accessing the 'find pictures' icon (see
left graphic) or
|
|
|
by using the
'Edit-Find Pictures' command from the toolbar
droplist.
|
|
|
On clicking
either of these options, we see the 'search'
screen appear in place of the tree/directory in
the same area. Note the cursor arrow is pointing
to one of the vertical dividers. This software
is absolutely 'designable' and allows one to
'grab' (click the vertical bar and hold the
click, then drag the bar to the right to open it
more. The same applies to the horizontal divider
bar not shown in the picture).
|
|
|
In the search
screen I pick 'Any Category' from the droplist
to make it search through the whole catalogue (I
could have narrowed down the search using any of
the choices in the droplist obviously)
|
|
|
There are no
Sub-Categories in John's Motorcars Catalogue or
else they would be displayed in the Sub-Category
droplist, so the software knows to ignore this
parameter.
|
|
|
I then click
the checkbox marked 'Also use this criteria' so
the next steps are included in the search (note
that one can obviously search simply with the
two parameters above before getting to this
stage, if applicable).
|
|
|
From the first
droplist, I pick the Disc No. option as what I
want is to search within this criteria for my
files.
|
|
|
on the next
droplist I pick the criteria 'more' or ">".
|
|
|
Then I enter
the number 10 in the text field in front as the
value. This tells me that I will be searching
for images contained in my disc no. 11 (more
than 10) and above.
|
|
|
I click the
'Find' button
|
|
|
and in the
images area of the catalogue all images
contained in the catalogue that are being stored
in Discs labeled 10 and above, (as per how John
categorized them), appear. If I click any of the
images I will be able to see their data details
in the data area and see which of the Disc No.
(11 and above) they belong to. Images, depending
on their size and resolution may take the
relative time to load much like with any other
graphics software.
|
|
|
In order to
clearly show the above mentioned and to also
test the next criteria symbol ("<"), the 'less
than' symbol, I will narrow down my search from
this point.
I click the
checkbox 'Also use this criteria' so I can
narrow my search further
|
|
|
From the first
droplist I again pick 'Disc No.'
|
|
|
from the
criteria droplist I pick the "less" symbol
|
|
|
And enter a
value of 12. This means I will now be bringing
up the images stored in John's Disc number 11
(more than 10 and less than 12).
|
|
|
It brings me
one image only because John's disc no. 11
contains images for the "Maserati" make of
Motocar and he only has one picture loaded
there.
|
|
 |
Clicking the
'Reset' button resets the search to nil and
allows you to start another search. 'Cancel'
cancels ongoing search and defaults to the
catalogue if you are in the category or
subcategory view.
