Importing ImageAXS 2.x formatted data
ImageAXS Pro 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.
Note When you import an ImageAXS 2.x formatted file, ImageAXS Pro
may encounter difficulty recognizing where to place incongruous
field information. In this case, the Map dialog box is displayed,
allowing you to map the fields for your import.
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 Pro imports it.
Note The Map dialog box is displayed if ImageAXS Pro has difficulty
recognizing where to place incongruous field information.
ImageAXS Pro 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.
