Media Library Options

Media Library Settings

• Confirm addition of files to media library
  If this is checked then whenever new files are added to the media library indirectly (i.e. when adding keywords or descriptions to a file that does not already exist in the media library) then you will be prompted to confirm the insertion. You are never prompted when inserting by normal means such as using the 'Add Files to Library Wizard'
• Confirm addition of new source folders
  When you add a file to your media library, and the folder of the file has not been added to the media library, this option determines whether you are prompted to confirm the addition and/or specify an alternative folder
• Prompt for a drive name when adding new source folders
  If enabled then when adding new source folders from a CD/DVD Smart Pix will prompt you for a drive name to use for all folders on the CD. If not selected then Smart Pix will use the volume name for each drive and CD/DVD (you can change the drive name later under Source Folders)
• Settings and Source Folders of Current Media Library
  Clicking this will display the Media Library Settings and Source Folders dialog.

Automatic Keyword and Description Generation

Add the folders within filenames as Keywords

If this option is checked then all the folder names within a filename will be added automatically as keywords. For example if you are inserting the image:

C:\Car Pictures\Porsche\Racing\Boxster.jpg

Then the image, Boxster.jpg, will be given the keywords, Car Pictures, Porsche and Racing.

Add the words within filenames as Keywords

If this option is checked then the words within a filename will be added automatically as keywords. For example if you are inserting the image:

Porsche Racing Boxster 2.jpg

Then the image will be given the keywords, Porsche, Racing and Boxster.

Add Artist and Genre Tags from MP3 and WMA files as Keywords

MP3 music files generally contain tags which give such information as the Artist, Song Title, Musical Genre, etc. If you check this option then when inserting MP3 and WMA files into your media library, Smart Pix will read the Artist, Album, Genre and Year tags and add them as keywords to your media library.

The creation (photographed) date of the file

If true, then the month and year are added as a keyword to the file, e.g. a file of the date 1/15/05 will have "January 2005" added as a keyword.

Exposure time and Camera (Digital Camera Images)

If checked then Smart Pix will add the following digital camera (EXIF) fields as keywords: camera make and model, exposure time and flash mode.

Embedded IPTC (PhotoShop) keywords and descriptions

If checked then Smart Pix will check for PhotoShop descriptions and keywords when inserting images and add them to the media library.
