Importing ImageAXS 2.x formatted data
ImageAXS is capable of importing information exported from
Macintosh and Windows ImageAXS 2.x data files as well as from
EmbARK, a high-end companion product also produced by
Digital Arts & Sciences.
To import ImageAXS 2.x formatted data:
1. In the Thumbnails or Text List View, choose ImageAXS 2.x from
the Import submenu in the File menu.
A standard Open dialog box appears.
2. Select the ImageAXS 2.x formatted data file for import.
The default extension for ImageAXS 2.x formatted data
files is “.AXS.”
3. Click OK.
Each record appears in the collection window as
ImageAXS imports it.
ImageAXS also imports all keywords attached to the record and
integrates them into your Master Keyword List during the process.
Thumbnails and Long Text field info are also imported, along with
collection information.
Note Because ImageAXS 2.x export files do not include field labels, you
may wish to label the fields after importing the file (see “Assigning
Field and Thumbnail Labels” on page 3-3),
