During installation you will be requested to serialize and register the software. Please enter the serial number located on the back of the manual. Please register using one of the built-in electronic registration methods. If you do not have a printer or access to the Internet, you may fill out the registration card in the back of the manual. About the Demo If you have not purchased a serial number for Portfolio, you can run it as a full-functioning demo for 30 days. After this period expires, Portfolio will convert into a Browser version. This version only allows read-only operations, so you will not be able to create catalogs or add items to catalogs. Additionally, the Browser only operates in a single-user setting, so you will be locked out of any networked catalog that another user is accessing. If you do access a networked catalog, all other users will be locked out of that catalog until you close the catalog. Using the UnInstall utility (Windows only): In order to remove Portfolio you will need to run the Add/Remove Programs option from the Control Panel. ----------- Software Technical Notes: * QuickTime 3.0 is used on both Mac and Windows to translate a number of raster image and multimedia formats. As a result, we strongly recommend you install QuickTime 3.0. The installers for both platforms are available on the Extensis CD. In addition, on the Macintosh, MacOS Easy Open must also be installed and active for Portfolio to use QuickTime properly. * Also available on the Extensis CD are additional MacOS extensions that improve the functionality of Portfolio. - The Appearance Manager 1.03 provides support for contextual menus and extended keyboard shortcuts in Portfolio. To use it, simply run the installer. It will work with MacOS 7.1 and above. These extensions are already available in MacOS 8.1 and above. Note that Portfolio does not support Contextual Menus with versions of the Appearance Manager prior to 1.02. - Navigation Services provides advanced navigational features for the Open and Save dialogs in Portfolio. This is a shared library which can be installed by dropping it onto your System folder. It will work with MacOS 7.5.5 and above. * Portfolio 4.0 for the Macintosh running with the Appearance Manager enabled will conflict with Kaleidoscope 2.0. The only workaround at the present time is to disable Kaleidoscope. * On the Mac, Portfolio uses Internet Config to determine how to handle various URL types that are entered into URL fields. Internet Config is installed as part of QuickTime 3.0. If Internet Config is not installed or is configured incorrectly, URL links in Portfolio may not work or may produce unexpected results. ----------- Manual Addenda: Page 32 - The Macintosh version does not contain ToolTips for the Toolbar. Page 162 - Kodak PhotoCD files are handled by an Inso ImageStream translator, not QuickTime. Page 164 - The first two explanations in the flowchart are misdirected. A corrected flowchart is available in the PDF version of the manual on the Extensis CD. ----------- Portfolio software program copyright by Extensis Corporation. ©1998
