What is the difference between a folder and a category?
What is the difference between the category browser and outline? What is the left-most browser column for? Why are some photos not in a date category? Why are some photos in the wrong date category? How can I get more categories? How can I create new categories quickly? What are category aliases useful for? What do the category icons mean? Why can’t I add photos to some categories? Why can't I move/rename/delete some categories? What are category aliases useful for?
Category aliases work just like aliases in the Finder. They act as placeholders that refer to an original, and essentially allow categories to be inserted into more than one place in the outline.
Aliases can be used to make logical connections between categories. The more connections you make, the more Shoebox will understand how the world works. Here are some examples. |
