Libraries on the launch screen
What the launch screen says about each library, row by row, and what every control on it does.
The New library card
What the New library card offers — a location, a detected card, an existing library, recent folders — why the library belongs on another drive than the card, and what becomes of a new library if you leave the wizard before photographs are copied in.
Library rules
The rejected-frame rule new libraries start with and what it does in Vixlo 0.1, the switch for precise place names, and the three rules that always hold.
Opening, switching and closing
Opening a library, telling which one is open, switching without going back to the list, adding photographs to it, and closing it.
Scanning a card again
How Vixlo tells a photograph the library already holds from a new one, what a second scan with a backup does, and how a frame that points at the card is brought inside the library.
What comes back when you reopen a library
The pass, its chips and the arrangement of the page that Vixlo restores when you reopen a library, what it does not keep, and what it does when a chip cannot be rebuilt.
Sessions
How Vixlo cuts a shoot into sessions from capture times, the gap that cuts them, what a session is called, and where the session cards are.
Showing a library as a gallery
Playing the frames you are looking at over the whole screen, like a screensaver, in one of four ways.
What a library is on disk
The folder a library is, what each file in it holds, which of them are yours, and how the index is rebuilt from the rest.
What lives outside the library
The files that are about you or this Mac rather than a shoot — your keys, export presets, what Vixlo has learned and the models — and the list of libraries, none of which sit in a library folder.
What is never touched
The files and folders Vixlo reads but never writes, and the one action that deletes a photograph.
