File and Directory Properties

The Properties dialog edits the properties of files, groups, and series. Depending on whether the object is a file or directory, the dialog has a slightly different form.

File Properties Dialog

File name
Name of the file in the file system. You can change it to rename the file (and the exported files).
Last Modified (read-only)
Last modification date/time of the underlying file.
Title
Title that appears in the headline of generated HTML pages.
Subtitle
Additional subtitle that appears below the image in generated HTML pages.
Location
Location
Date
Date of exposure. Please select the date with the "..." button. You can specify no date, only the year, month and year, and complete date.
Description
Long image description, that is shown on image HTML pages below the title.
Export to Web directory
Check to export the file to the Web export directory (see also export for the Web).
JPEG Quality
Can override the JPEG conversion quality specified in the Preferences dialog, e.g., if the default quality is too bad or the image size too large.
Exported image sizes (read-only)
Shows the sizes of the exported images (see also export) if they exist.

The Open button shows the file using an internal viewer for images and text files, or by opening the application registered for the file type (only on Windows operating systems).

Directory Properties Dialog

Series and group directories do not have preview images, and their properties are slightly different:

Begin and End Date
As directories can contain several images, begin and end date for such an image group can differ. Thus, directories store a begin and an end date. If you need just one date, use the begin date.
Description
The description of series and groups can contain the following tags to control the layout of the group overview HTML pages:
Export to Web directory and JPEG Quality
The values affect all images and subgroups in the directory -- unless they override them.
Exported image sizes (read-only)
Do not apply for directories.
