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.
3. Do one of the following:
x To replace the destination file with the source file, click Replace.
x To rename the new file before moving it into the destination folder, type a new name
for the file in the Rename to field, and then click Rename.
x To skip this file, and leave both files intact, click Skip.
x To delete either the destination or source file, click Delete below the file you want to
remove from your hard drive.
x To cancel the operation and not move or copy any more files, click Cancel.
In the Confirm File Replace dialog box, destination file refers to the file that exists in
the target folder, and source file refers to the file you are moving or copying.
Renaming a file or folder
You can rename a file or folder on your hard drive in the Folders and File List panes.
To rename a file or folder:
1. In the File List or Folders pane, select the item you want to rename.
2. Click Edit | Rename.
3. Without removing or changing the file name extension, such as “.jpg”, type a new name
for the file.
4. Press Enter.
You can rename multiple files at the same time using ACDSee's Batch Rename tool.
Storing files in private folders
Private folders are secure folders where you can store confidential files. When you place files
into a private folder, ACDSee moves them from their current location into the private folder.
Private folders are password-protected and the files in them can only be viewed in ACDSee.
When you add files or folders to a private folder all information related to them is permanently
removed from the database. Restoring files and folders from a private folder does not restore
information to the database. The only way you can preserve database information related to
the files or folders is to back up or export the database before you add them to a private
folder.
