+ | ==== Backing Up New Pictures ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | StudioLine keeps track of any new images that are added to a folder after it is backed up. When you select that folder for another backup, StudioLine will offer to perform either a full backup of all images, or just an incremental backup of new images. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Restoring the Entire Image Archive ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can recover from a loss of your entire Image Archive (for example due to a hard drive failure) by following these steps: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Reinstall StudioLine. | ||
+ | * Start StudioLine and open “File” menu and choose “Restore from Backup”. | ||
+ | * Follow the on-screen instructions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Restoring Individual Images ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | To restore individual images, open the backup disc in “StudioLine Explorer -- My Computer” (via the “Browse and Load” button on the QuickStep Bar). Navigate to the backup images and drag them onto the Image Archive desktop. | ||
+ | |||
+ | StudioLine will recognize | ||
+ | |||
+ | The two topmost fields display the name of the backup image and its location in the Image Archive. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A drop-down list offers choices on how to proceed with the image. For internal images, you can: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Reload Original from Backup**\\ StudioLine replaces the master copy in the Image Archive with the backed up image from the backup disc. The option “Include Filters and Descriptors” will be off by default; changes made after the backup will therefore be retained. | ||
+ | * **Create as New Image**\\ StudioLine creates a new image in the target folder you dragged the disc icon to. The option “Include Filters and Descriptors” is always active by default. | ||
+ | * **Reload Original and Create Shortcut**\\ This functions like the option “Replace the Original with the Backup.” | ||
+ | * **Skip**\\ StudioLine will not restore the image. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The option “Apply to All Backed Up Images” is only relevant, when you are restoring more than one picture at a time and you want the same choice to be used for all other images that may already exist. |
