Quarantined files
If ACDSee has trouble reading a corrupted or incomplete image or media file, or a file causes a
plug-in to generate an error, ACDSee will quarantine that file. You can view a list of
quarantined files, and remove a file from the list.
To view quarantined files:
1. Click Database | Quarantined Files.
2. To remove a file, select it in the list, and then click Remove.
3. To disable the Quarantine feature, clear the Enable Quarantine check box.
4. Click OK to close the Quarantine Files dialog box and return to ACDSee.
Creating and assigning keywords
With ACDSee you can create a master list of keywords and store the list in the database. By
using a master list, you can reduce the number of duplicate or misspelled keywords, and
improve your search returns and image management. The database automatically updates the
keywords assigned to files with any changes you make to the keywords in the master list.
To create and maintain the master keyword list:
1. In the Properties pane, click the Keyword Picker button beside the Keywords field.
2. In the Keyword Picker dialog box, click Edit List.
3. In the Keyword List Configuration dialog box, do one of the following:
x To create a new keyword, type a new keyword into the New Keyword field, and
then click Add.
x To delete a keyword, select a keyword in the Keyword List field, and then click
Remove.
x To rename a keyword, select a keyword in the Keyword List field. Click Rename,
type a new name for the keyword, and then press Enter.
x To assign keywords to your files, select one or more keywords in the Available
Keywords list, and then click Assign.
x To remove a keyword from your files, select a keyword in the Assigned Keywords list,
and then click Remove.
4. When you are satisfied with your changes, click OK to close the Keyword Picker dialog
box.
