ACDSee Pro stores thumbnails and database information for images contained on CDs or other removable media as Photo Discs. You can then browse the thumbnails and view the information for those images even when the disc is not in your CD-ROM drive.
To Add a Photo Disc:
You can then browse the contents of the Photo Disc in the Offline Media section of the Folders pane.
If you add or remove images from a disc that you have already added to ACDSee Pro as a Photo Disc, you can update the information stored in the database. Insert the disc in your CD-ROM drive, and then right-click the name of the disc in the Folders pane and select Update Photo Disc.
By default, ACDSee Pro identifies Photo Discs by their serial numbers. This is the most reliable setting to use when working with Photo Discs, particularly if you are importing or converting Photo Discs from previous versions of ACDSee.
However, if you are working with, or planning to work with, multi-session discs, the serial number may be regenerated or changed each time you change the contents of a disc. Therefore, the volume label is the required method of identification for multi-session Photo Discs.
Depending on the method used to identify Photo Discs, ACDSee Pro may encounter a Photo Disc that it does not recognize. This is most common when you are using the serial number method to identify Photo Discs and you insert a multi-session disc. ACDSee Pro may not recognize the disc, as serial numbers are likely to change when updating a multi-session disc.
You can use the Rebind option to update the identification information, and associate the correct database information with your disc.
