Installing Vixlo
Create your Vixlo account on the website, download the app, and open it for the first time.
If macOS will not open Vixlo
What the Mac shows the first time it blocks Vixlo 0.1, and how to open the app anyway, once, from System Settings.
Signing in
The sign-in card, what it sends, the countdown under the title bar, what each refusal means, and what signs a Mac out.
The launch screen
What Vixlo opens onto — every library it knows, what each row tells you, and the column where a new one is made.
Creating a library
The three-step wizard that makes a library — where it lives, where its photographs come from, and what happens to rejects.
Importing from a card or a folder
The import review, the verified copy, how an import stops, and what Continue to culling does.
How an import ends
The last panel of an import — the sentence for each ending, what its counts mean, and what safe to format takes.
What an import copies
Which files an import copies and which it only counts, what counts as the card, why a RAW+JPEG pair is two files, and what happens when two cameras share a file name.
Importing the same card again
What a second import of a card does — files the library already holds, a backup added afterwards, a file that failed, an interrupted import, a deleted copy and a card formatted and filled again.
Your first pass
Five minutes on the cull page — looking, deciding with T, H and R, undoing, narrowing to the takes, and where to go next.
Adding a card to a library you already have
Scan a second card or folder into an open library from the ⋯ menu or the File menu, where its copies go, and what the review remembers.
Importing an Earlier library
Copy one of the three Earlier library rows into a library of your own with Import this library…, and read the sheet that reports how it went.
Decisions from the earlier build
The one-time offer to bring decisions from the earlier build of Vixlo into the first library you open, what it matches, and what each answer does.
