Table Of Contents

You can add folders located on an external hard drive. The process is the same as adding folders from an

internal hard drive. Be aware that if the external hard drive is disconnected from your system, the media will go

offline. If the media is offline, the name of the folder is greyed out, and a warning triangle appears next to the

folders name.

• When an offline folder is opened, thumbnails of the original photos will be available.

• You can flag, rate, and label offline images, but you will not be able to edit the images until the

external hard drive is reconnected.

• Offline images will also have a warning triangle in the upper left corner of the thumbnail.

• You can still organize these offline images into Albums. You cannot move offline images into a folder.

When the external hard drive is reattached and mounted, the folder and all the images inside will come back

online. The folder will no longer be greyed out, and the warning triangle next to the folder’s name and on

each of the images will no longer be there. Any tagging, rating, and labeling done while the folder is offline

will be remembered. Also if any images had been edited before the external drive being removed, their edits

will be remembered when the drive is reconnected.
