Managing Source Files
Use ImageAXS not just to see and describe the source files
in your collections, but to manage them as well. When you
open, move, or rename a file from within ImageAXS instead
of the Finder, you will always be sure you are working with
the right file. ImageAXS also makes it easier to select
groups of records (for example, by searching) for easier and
more accurate organizing.
In addition, when you move, copy, or rename source file
using ImageAXS, the program updates each data record
automatically, saving you the extra steps that would be
required if you had used the Finder. And because the
source files remain online, you can keep using and viewing
the files in ImageAXS without interruption.
