Copying images
You can copy an image to the Clipboard and then paste it into another application, such as ACDSee Photo Editor. Using the Copy
Image command transfers only the image data to the Clipboard: no database, EXIF, or IPTC information is retained.
To copy an image:
1. In Manage mode or View mode, select the image file you want to copy.
2. Click Edit | Copy Image.
3. Paste the image into your other application.
Pasting files and folders
You can cut or copy files to the Clipboard, and then paste them into another folder without losing your database information.
To cut and paste files:
1. In Manage mode, in the File List or Folders pane, select one or more files or folders.
2. Click Edit | Copy or Cut.
3. In the Folders pane, browse to a new location.
4. Click Edit | Paste to place the files or folders into the new location.
Replacing or overwriting files
When copying or moving files from one location to another, a file name collision occurs if a file already exists in the destination folder
with the same file name and extension as a file you are relocating. In ACDSee Pro, you can view both of the files involved in the
Confirm File Replace dialog box. If the files involved are image files, ACDSee Pro displays thumbnail previews of both files, and
provides options to replace the existing file, rename, delete, or skip the file you are moving, or cancel the operation entirely.
To use the Confirm File Replace dialog box:
1. If you are moving a number of files and want to handle all potential file name collisions in the same manner, select the Apply
to all check box.
2. To help determine any differences between the two files, use the toolbar between the two preview fields to shrink or enlarge
the size of the previews.
