PictureXTracker searches a selected folder or a selected volume for all picture files related to one or several documents. PictureXTracker searches the volumes selected or the subdirectories contained. This allows even complex file systems to be efficiently searched for picture data -- if the picture exists anywhere in the selected directory system, PictureXTracker will find it and present it to the user.

Features:

· picture-data swap can be carried out simultaneously for several documents;

· embedded pictures in InDesign documents can be edited separately;

· master pages can be included in the editing process;

· updates the assignment between the document and pictures with only a few mouse clicks, even for complex directory structures;

· allows the simultaneous reassignment of pictures to several documents;

· embedded pictures in InDesign documents can be taken into account in different ways for editing with PictureXTracker; and

· master pages can be included in or excluded from the editing process.

Optional settings enable the user to locate pictures when file suffixes are to be taken into account or not, or the search is to be case sensitive, or whether the file used for assignment should always be the one with the latest date.

In InDesign documents, and embedded pictures can be included or excluded from the editing process. Reassignment can even be carried out for all open documents at once.

After PictureXTracker has searched the directory or volume, the status dialogue shows how many pictures have been found in the directory system searched. If required, a list of the missing pictures is generated.

If PictureXTracker finds several pictures with the same name in the searched directories during the search process, the user will individually decide which picture file is to be valid.

PictureXTracker loads the selected pictures into the document, and the document is updated. PictureXTracker enables the user to replace complete or partial picture paths with others. Using Macintosh or Windows path separators, even the platform can be changed when required.

Define certain settings to be taken into account for assignment. For instance make the search case-sensitive, or if all open documents are to be searched at once the relevant settings are defined. Use wildcards in the search field. PictureXTracker thus becomes an essential tool in handling QuarkXPress or InDesign documents as well as the related pictures in changing or multiple work environments.
