Image Update

This feature allows importing whole folders of images instead of only images. After importing, the imported folder and the subfolders have the same structure in the solution as the source folders that were used for import.

Open "Image Update" dialog via the menu to update the images.

In the "Image Update" dialog the solution's folder containing the images to be updated can be selected using the "Solution Folder" dropdown-menu. The folder that contains the images to update the ones in the solution with can be selected using the "Select Update Folder..." button. By clicking on the "Read Folder" button, the selected folder and its subfolders are recursively scanned for images to import. A warning is shown in case the folder is empty or does not contain any images.

The images can be searched by different criteria selectable from the "Search by" dropdown-menu. The options that are selectable in the dropdown-menu correspond to the column headers of the table below it in which the names of the images are shown. If a text is inserted in the textfield (the search is case-insensitive) to the right of the dropdown-menu, the according search result found in the column defined by the value in the dropdown-menu is shown.

The available options in the "Search by" dropdown-menu are:

Image to update: the image in the solution that is to be updated
Status: the status of the images
Update with: the images to update the solution with

The checkbox "Add new images" selects if only existing images should be updated or newfound ones should be added to the solution as well.

The content of the image comparison can be saved in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format by clicking the "Save Report..." button. A "Save As" file dialog appears which allows selecting the name and the location of the CSV file.

If the folder used to update the solution with contains less images than the solution itself, only the images that are found in that folder are updated. The other images are shown in the report as "Missing images" and are not changed.

Summary of the update process

After updating the images, a summary is opened showing the performed actions. The content of the summary can be saved in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format by clicking the "Save Report..." button. A "Save As" file dialog appears which allows selecting the name and the location of the CSV file.
