Exporting the Collection

You may export the content of the current collection file using the collection export wizard. MediaMan allows you to export your collection into Microsoft Word RTF files, HTML files, and CSV files. Use File -> Export -> Collection ... to access the wizard.



You'll be prompted for the choice of export file format in the first page of the wizard.



In the rest of the wizard, you'll be prompted for more options such as the items to export, the fields to export. MediaMan currently allows you to export the search result, selected items, or a category of items. To export the whole collection, choose the option to export the root node of the category tree (It's named "My Collection" by default). Additionally, you can export items in a selected series of fields, this will help if you were exporting to a CSV file with a small set of required fields.

(Note: To export search results, you are strongly advised to invoke the wizard in the search dialog. For more information, please check out the search tool tutorial.
