Browsing Files

You can browse, arrange and view the files in the Studio. This makes it easier to find and maintain files.

1. Click on the View menu item to toggle between a list view and thumbnail view.

2. To change the order of files in the list, click on the header above a column. You can arrange the list according to file name, file type or date created, for example.

3. When in a single image view, you can return to the file listing view by clicking on Browse.

4. You can select files from different folders by clicking on the Select Multiple option. If you have selected multiple files, the Selected button will show the files that you have selected.

5. You can preview a file by clicking on the Preview option.

Searching for Files

You can easily search for files in the Studio on the basis of the name, size or folder of the file, for instance.

1. Start the search by entering a search word in the text field and clicking on the search button (magnifying glass). Instead of clicking on the button you can press Enter. Use the Filter button on the toolbar to narrow down your search. 

Searches can be saved. Saved searches are dynamic collections updated as soon as content corresponding to the search terms is added to the service.

2. To save a search, click on Save Search and give a name for the search. Saved searches can be found under the My Collections section of the Collections header on the left. 

Managing and Deleting Files

You can easily manage files in the data repository. For example, you can keep earlier versions of files and you can freely modify file metadata.

1. Double-click on a file if you want to view its contents or replace it with a new version or modify the image conversion.

The file is opened in a larger view and the contents of the file are displayed at the bottom of the view. On the right side of the view, the preview option is selected. You can go back by clicking on Browse. 

2. To see a file's metadata, history data or image conversion data, click on the tools on the right-hand side of the view. 

3. To delete a file, drag it into the Recycle Bin in the lower left-hand corner.

Folder Management

It's a good idea to arrange the files in the data repository in folders according to their subject matter. For instance, you could store product images, news images, profile images, etc. in their own folders.

1. Select a folder under which you wish to create a new folder and click on the add button (+) on the Folders header.

2. Give a name for the new folder in the name field.

3. You can move the folder by dragging it with the mouse to a position of your choice in the list of folders. You can also move the folder under another folder: drag it on top of the other folder so that an arrow appears next to the target folder.

4. To delete a folder, click on the gear icon to its left and select Delete. You can also drag it into the Recycle Bin.

Tags

1. You can edit a file's tags by double-clicking on the file in the browse view.

2. Click on the Tags button on the right-hand side (the second button from the top).

3. To add an existing tag for a file, click on a tag in the list.

4. To add a new tag, enter a name for the tag and click on Add. 

The tags are listed under the Tags header on the left.

5. Click on a tag to see all the files for which the tag is used.

File Metadata

1. You can edit a file's metadata by double-clicking on the file in the browse view.

2. Click on the Data item, i.e. the uppermost item in the menu on the right.

3. Enter a description for the file.

A file can have multiple Metadata fields. You can change their names freely. The metadata fields are managed using a separate database.
