244 AlbumPlus Organizer: Managing Photos
After inserting the “Flowers” CD the flowers photos are made available for use
(and removed from the list) but photos on the “Fireworks” CD are still
unavailable. Subsequently, inserting the Fireworks CD will automatically resolve
this, and remove the dialog.
If you have many photos spread across multiple CDs/DVDs which are all
contained within the same album, you may think that a “Catch-22” situation
could exist—because there may be insufficient CD drives to make all your
photos available. AlbumPlus has a trick up its sleeve to overcome this! Any
photos made available are stored temporarily so you can continue to insert then
remove the requested CDs until you have cleared all items in the Insert CD
dialog. It’s a powerful solution that’s also very simple.
Setting preferences
You can control global preferences from a Preferences dialog, available from the
File menu. This will enable you to fine-tune some settings to your liking—
typically you would set these up at the start of your project or the first time you
launch AlbumPlus, changing them infrequently after this point.
Show all warning messages: The Show All button is linked to the All Displayed
Photos dialog displayed when an action is invoked (e.g., Print) but no items are
currently selected. It lets the user re-enable the “Don’t ask this question again”
message after it had previously been checked. If the Show All button is grayed
the above option is not checked.
