Add pictures wizard :: File selection

Adding pictures starts with selecting the picture files and/or folders containing picture files.

Controls

Files/folders list You select some items you wish using the keyboard or mouse with Shift or Ctrl keys.
Recurse subfolders If there are folders selected in the tree, then having this checkbox turned on you add files not only from that folders, but also from all the nested folders.
Advanced Displays or hides the File selection filter panel, allowing you to narrow file selection by certain criteria (see below).
Photo album presence Allows you to filter picture files on their presence in the photo album:
  • Disregard - the filter is ignored.
  • Only files which are absent at the photo album - only files will be added which are not yet in the common photo album picture list.
  • Only files which are present at the photo album - only files will be added which are already contained in the photo album.
File masks A filter restricting files being added by their name and/or extension. You write the mask by standard PhoA rules.
File modified time You can specify limits of date and/or time file modified. This way you can eg select files have been saved before or after a particular date. Empty field means filter is inactive.
