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 4.0 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
4.0. The installers for both platforms are available on the
Extensis CD.
* Also available on the Extensis CD are additional MacOS
extensions that improve the functionality of Portfolio.
- The Appearance Manager 1.02 installer 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 4.1 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
4.0. 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.
