I would like to share this program with many pictures already loaded.  It is confusing for the people I am sharing with to get the data file and picture files in the correct path.

Is there a way I can save these all together so they install correctly when they install the program?

Hi,

You can open a photo index from any path you wish,  So what I usually do is to keep the Photo index file in the root directory of the  image collection (i.e. My Photos).

To open a photo index just go to the File->Open.

The only issue I see is that the cache will be rebuild on their machine, but it's not that hysteric.

Hi Asaf,

 

What I was wanting to do is supply others with the program full of pictures already tagged with comments etc.  It will be hard for some of them to get the index file to the proper location.

C:\Documents and Settings\_user_\Local Settings\Application Data\MyPhotoIndex\Data\MyPhotoIndex.mdb

The ffolders with the images need to be saved at   C:\Statler Stitcher Patterns

I would have liked to have these installed in the proper path when they install the program.  Maybe I can have them install the program then come up with something else to copy the other files in the correct path.

Do i have it right that if the MyPhotoIndex.mdb is cop[ied to the proper path first then when they open the program then they see the tags etc already defined.

Thanks!
Christy

Hi Christy,

You got it right,  if the MyPhotoIndex.mdb will be copied to the correct path the user will see the images when he first opens the application, You can build a combined installer in order to do that, with something  like the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System 

using a simple script you can build an installer that will both install MyPhotoIndex & copy your Images/Index file.

If you want I can try writing a small sample script.

You are SOOOO SWEET!!  Thanks you very much....that would be wonderful :)

Is Nullsoft Scriptable Install system something I need to purchase.  I will follow the link you provided right now.

I only have Visual Basic Pro and a litte expreience with that. (I am sure it is very outdated  now)

Thanks you very much
