Opening and Closing Collections
Viewing Collections 15
In the Finder, ImageAXS collections are represented by two
files: one with a “.db” extension (containing text
information), and the other with a “.blob” extension
(containing thumbnail images). If you want to move or
rename a collection, you must move or rename both files.
Opening a Collection
To open a collection that you have used recently, highlight
Open Recent Collections in the File menu, then select the
collection from the submenu that appears.
If the collection you want is not on the list, follow the steps
below.
To open a collection:
1. Choose Open Collection from the File menu (!-O).
A dialog box prompts you to select a collection to
open.
2. In the dialog box, locate and select a collection.
You can recognize collections by the ImageAXS file
icon or the ".db" extension at the end of the file
name.
3. Double-click the collection name, or highlight it and
click Open.
You can also open any ImageAXS collection in the Finder by
dragging and dropping the collection icon on the ImageAXS
application icon.
Note If you have used ImageAXS before, any collections that
were open when you last quit the program will
automatically open the next time you start the progam.
