AFAIK PS can do exactly the same.

How do I make the switch -- my main version has been NEF files and the album display a jpeg version (this from V5). I keep my NEFs in an external disk, and the jpegs in my laptop. I really need PS to display the jpegs.

In ID5:

1) Turn on the Script Launcher Bar (Ctrl+F9)

2) In the Catalog ...

After some thought I have decided to give PS a try (already a idimager user). As a test I have just imported a series of folders that contain jpg's, the total size of the folders is just over 4Gb. I'm rather surprised to see the thumbnail database size is practically the same at just over 4Gb, this ...

Not a good idea in general if the total number is big, because it will slow down. You can click the white number in the bubble ("271") to see all images including sublabels.

I have used IDI for quite a few years, but didn't upgrade beyond v4 personal, which seemed to do enough to suit me. I am used to using the Catalog Explorer in assign mode and the Quick Assign feature invoked from the top right thumb icon.
I started in V5 in that way, but soon I changed to the ...

Tom Stoddard, thanks for sharing your observations - very useful.

Just want to add one thing that I find important: Is it possible to backup the catalog in reasonable time over the Internet and get it back to other computers in reasonable time (minutes).

That's actually possible in Photo Supreme ...

And what of the 74000 images in my IDI catalog, of which I would guess 40000 are RAW +JPGs pairs versioned the other way round?
I guess the IDI version script "Swap Version placeholders" can accomplish the task.

And let me get this right the "Album display" version isn't the one that is ...

Ah Lars

I know what the problem is !

With a laptop in preview and full screen you don't need to rotate the image - just turn the laptop on its side and the image will be perfectly rotated :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Have a great day

Certainly an optimal use of the screen ...

My Lenovo x200 laptop seems to have a problem with this shortcut...not a big problem...thanks for info.

You can also use the [ ] brackets for rotation in the catalog viewer.

Is that a MAC thing? - Don't seem to work in w7 ?

OK it would help if the tabs weren't so tiny & almost illegible when thumbs are set to 100%.
Yes, but the zoom function works so well that there are no problem in running constantly at for instance 125 %.

I've deleted & re-run my import & got the RAWs as "Main" & JPGs as "Album display" but ...

Yes this can be made exactly as you like - Write some code here:

View > Custom thumb Info

In the right of the field click the triangle to get help.

You may have to reopen the programme to see the change.

...if you create a new database they will all be back...

Should be possible to delete as many as you like - Did you select more than one image? (Selected thumbnails must have brown background - not to be confused with the white-on-green down-arrows)
