Description

General

Extract Keywords

Looks for and extracts any keywords saved with the source file.

 

Extract Description

Looks for and extracts any description saved with the source file.

 

Extract Thumbnail

Looks for and extracts any preview image saved with the source file. Note: If you are adding QuickTime movies, we recommend that you do not use this option. You will get a larger thumbnail for the movie if you let Portfolio create it, rather than having it extracted.

 

Skip Files without Thumbnails

Does not catalog the file if a thumbnail cannot be extracted or generated.

 

Always Detect Digimarc

When enabled, Portfolio attempts to generate a thumbnail for every item and checks for Digimarc data; the Extract Thumbnail option is disabled. When disabled, Portfolio will only look for a Digimarc watermark when it attempts to generate a thumbnail, not when thumbnails are extracted.

Document Text Indexing

 

Indexes the text of Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft PowerPoint files by adding each word to the catalog index. Preview the original file to read document document text.

 Video*

Use Poster Frame

Use Poster Frame for thumbnail (by default, the first frame). If the first frame of a group of movies is black, for example, one of the other options can be used for the thumbnail.

 

Use Frame #

Allows you to choose a particular frame for the thumbnail (for example, Frame #2).

 

Use Frame After

Allows you to select the frame occurring after a specific time interval (specify number of seconds).

* QuickTime movies (.mov) only; not compatible with m1v, mpeg, swfl, and animated gifs.
