Adding or Editing Descriptor Content

To add or edit text, simply click on the specific Descriptor Line below the image and a space will open where you can type your text. If the Descriptor Line area is next to the “Date and Time,” right click on it (or on any of the Descriptor Lines) and a window “Descriptors” will open. Alternatively, you can right click on the thumbnail picture and choose “Descriptors” from the context menu to open the Descriptors window.

The Descriptors Panel maintains the text information and other tags associated with an image. At the top of the window are two arrows which are navigation buttons (see below) to browse to the next or previous image’s descriptor content. On the Image Archive Desktop, the current image associated with the Descriptors Panel will be highlighted by a dotted border. As you scroll using the navigation buttons in the Descriptors Panel, you can see the image highlight border advancing to the next image on the Image Archive Desktop.

If only one image was selected, then the navigation buttons will automatically select the previous or next image in the current folder. If more than one image was selected, then the navigation buttons will browse to the previous or next image of the selection. The image descriptors are organized into two categories System Groups and Forms, which can be collapsed or expanded by using the ( ) buttons in front of each category. Clicking on these group and sub-group titles lists their content in the lower panel for you to work with.

Spell Checking

Descriptor text can also be spell-checked. For details go to the Working with Text – Spell Checking section. However, a quick method is to access the Descriptor Spell-Checker is to right-click on the descriptor field underneath the image in the Image Archive pane and choose one of Spell-Checker Options from the context menu.
