Managing your Media Libraries

If you are using multiple media libraries you can use the media library management utility for moving, copying and deleting your media libraries (Registered Version only, to move media libraries in the unregistered version click here).

Select Library > Manage Media Libraries to display the media library management dialog.

You will first need to select the media library to manage:

Click on the top right browse button and select the folder of the media library you want to move or delete.  Note that you cannot move or delete the currently opened media library, switch to a new media library first.  If you are not sure of the location of a media library, open it and then select Library > Media Library Info.

Moving a Media Library:

1. Click on 'Move the media library', then browse to the folder where you want to move it to.  You cannot select a folder where a media library already exists.
2. Click OK.

Copying a Media Library:

1. Click on 'Copy the media library', then browse to the folder where you want to copy it to.  You cannot select a folder where a media library already exists.
2. Click OK.

After you have copied a media library it is recommended that you rename either the original or the copy with a new media library name, so that it can easily be opened using the Re-open menu item.

Deleting a Media Library

1. Click on 'Delete the media library'.  
2. Click OK.

If the media library is using:

• False extensions for image files:  Deleting the media library will leave all image files listed in it with the altered extension, so you will not be able to view them.  Before deleting the media library you should first open it and convert the storage method back to Normal, this will rename all files to their original extension.
• Media Library File Storage:  Deleting the media library will also delete all files stored in the media library!  If you want to keep these files but still delete the media library, you should first open it and convert the storage method back to Normal, this will save all files to their original locations.
