Introduction to the HiJaak Catalog

The HiJaak Catalog is a database of information that HiJaak Express stores about your graphics files. You can create as many catalogs as you like and add graphics files to each one by the process of updating. Only those files that are added will be referenced and thumbnailed in your catalog. Updating is the process of storing file information such as size, number of colors and image class, and creating thumbnails of graphics files and replacing the generic Windows large icons with these thumbnails. The advantage to creating and viewing thumbnails is that you can identify your graphics files without having to open and display them in an application.

Important: You can only view thumbnails in Windows Large Icon mode or in HiJaak’s Extra Large Icon mode. When you are viewing thumbnails in Small Icons or Details mode, you will not see HiJaak’s thumbnails.

By providing this catalog of information on your graphics files, HiJaak Express helps you manage them. At any time, you can right-click a thumbnail of a graphics file in Windows Explorer, the Open or Save As dialog box, My Computer or Network Neighborhood and get the graphical Properties of that file.

You can create and open different catalogs. Having multiple catalogs is useful if you have graphics on a CD-ROM or other removable media that you want to organize and for which you want to create shortcuts. Note that you can only have one catalog open at a time.

HiJaak's default settings for the catalog should work well with most systems. However, if you want to customize such as thumbnail size and color, you can do so from HiJaak Catalog Setup.

Note: All the procedures for working with the HiJaak Catalog refer to Windows Explorer. You can perform any of the procedures from the Open or Save As dialog box, My Computer or Network Neighborhood as well.

  Right-click the HiJaak Catalog Controls icon [image] in the task tray and select Setup. The HiJaak Catalog Setup dialog box displays with the Setup tab active. Click the Enable HiJaak Shell Extensions check box to deselect it. Click OK.


Updating and Cataloging Graphics Files

Updating is the process of adding files to the HiJaak Catalog, creating thumbnails and keeping catalog information current. You can update your catalog by file, folder or lists of folders. When a file is updated, several things happen: If the file was not originally part of the active catalog, it is added to the catalog. If it is part of the catalog, but is out of date, then changes to the file, such as date, size, location and name, are recorded and appear in the file’s Properties sheet. Also, changes to the appearance of a graphics file are reflected in the file’s thumbnail.

HiJaak Express indicates when it is updating files using a globe icon in the Windows task tray. When the globe is green, HiJaak Update is running, but not updating files. When it is flashing green and yellow, it is currently updating files. When it is blue, the active catalog is read-only, so no updating features are available. And when it is red, HiJaak Update isn’t updating files because there are either no catalogs available or it has encountered some system problem.

To add files to the HiJaak Catalog and maintain current file information, you can update one or more selected files.
Click here: Updating Selected Files

Updating Selected Files

You can update selected files at any time from the Windows Desktop, My Computer, Network Neighborhood, the Windows standard Open and Save As dialog boxes or Windows Explorer. Updating files in this manner is useful because you can quickly replace generic icons with thumbnails while you are browsing.

 How To...


To update selected files

1. Run Windows Explorer.

2. Switch to the folder that contains the file(s) you want to update.

3. Right-click the file you want to update.
If you want to update more than one file, press the CTRL key as you click the files. After you have selected the last file, right-click any of the selected files.

The files’ shortcut menu displays.

4. Click HiJaak Update.

HiJaak creates a 256-color thumbnail of the file and replaces the generic Windows icon with this thumbnail. It also extracts file information and adds it to the file’s Properties sheet.


Skipping Updates

If HiJaak Express attempts to update a file and fails because of file incompatibility or system problems, then it marks the file "Skip Update." If, for any reason, you don’t want HiJaak Express to update a file, you can also mark it Skip Update. You may not want HiJaak Express to update a file if HiJaak has run into problems updating it in the past, the file is large and takes a lot of time to update, or the copy of the file is not the most recent copy available.

Tip

If your system runs out of memory during a large update, HiJaak will mark all files Skip Update. To attempt another update, you need to deselect the Skip Update option. The easiest way to deselect Skip Update on a large number of files is to right-click the top level folder and select Remove from Catalog. A message box confirming your selection displays. Click OK. HiJaak removes the Skip Update settings from all the files located in that folder and all of its subfolders.

 How To...


To skip a file during update

1. Right-click the file you do not want to update.
The file’s shortcut menu displays.

2. Click Properties.
The file’s Properties sheet displays.

3. Click the Details tab.
The Details page displays.

4. Select the Skip Update check box.

5. Click OK.
The Properties sheet closes, the image thumbnail disappears, and HiJaak Express skips this file in all future updates.

Tip

If your system runs out of memory during a large update, HiJaak will mark all files Skip Update. To attempt another update, you need to deselect the Skip Update option. The easiest way to deselect Skip Update on a large number of files is to right-click the top level folder and select Remove from Catalog. A message box confirming your selection displays. Click OK. HiJaak removes the Skip Update settings from all the files located in that folder and all of its subfolders.


Displaying the Contents of the Catalogs
Displaying the Contents of the Catalog

After you have added files to a HiJaak Catalog by way of updating, you can view the contents of the catalog. You can also delete files from it if you like. Before using this procedure, make sure that the correct catalog is open.

 How To...


To view the contents of the catalog

1. Click the Start menu and point to Programs. In the Programs folder, point to HiJaak Express. Click HiJaak Catalog Setup.
The HiJaak Catalog Setup dialog box displays with a tree representing all the files and folders that have been added to the active catalog.

2. To view information on the active catalog, click Catalog Info.

3. If you want to remove a file from the catalog, click its thumbnail, then click Delete. All information about the file is removed from the catalog, but the file is not deleted.

4. To close HiJaak Catalog Setup, click OK.

Tip

You can also remove a thumbnail from the catalog by selecting Remove from Catalog from the file’s shortcut menu.


Viewing HiJaak Thumbnails in Windows Explorer

You can view image thumbnails in either Windows standard large icon mode or HiJaak’s Extra Large Thumbnail mode. Extra large thumbnails may be up to 120x120 pixel; the default is 64x64.

To view extra large thumbnails, either click the HiJaak Thumbnails button in the Explorer toolbar, or pull down the Explorer View menu and click HiJaak Thumbnails.

Extra large thumbnails (64x64) display in the Explorer window.

You can also configure the view of HiJaak Thumbnails using the Setup Page in HiJaak Catalog Setup.

To learn how to change the configure the thumbnail view, click here: To setup icon size and color


Viewing File Properties

When you update files, HiJaak Express adds a Details tab to the Properties sheets of the file.

The Details tab contains the following information about your cataloged file:

 File type––the name of the format.

 Image class––whether the image is raster, vector or metafile.

 Number of pages––the number of pages in the image.

 Grayscale––whether the image is composed of shades of gray.

 Number of colors––the color depth of the file.

 Height––the number of pixels in the height of raster images.

 Width––the number of pixels in the width of raster images.

 Fonts––the names of the fonts contained within vector images.

 Skip update––whether the file will be updated next time you run an update.

Note that you can display the file’s Properties sheet by selecting Properties from the file’s shortcut menu in Explorer. You cannot view these properties from HiJaak Express’s File menu.

Managing Multiple Catalogs

You can create as many catalogs as you want and place them on any available drive, including local or network drives. The ability to create multiple catalogs give you the following benefits:

 You can create multiple small catalogs to save disk space.

 You can organize your project’s images by using project-based catalogs across different drives.

You can also manage catalogs by opening, renaming and merging them.

You can open a catalog from the Windows Explorer or HiJaak Catalog Setup at any time. Note that although you can create as many catalogs as you want, you can only have one catalog open at a time.

If this open catalog is opened in update mode (read/write), then no other users will be allowed to open it until you close it or reopen it in read-only mode.

You can also merge one catalog or a part of a catalog into another. When you merge one catalog into another, the catalog that is being merged into another does not change. The information in that catalog is copied rather than moved. If the catalogs have thumbnails associated with files common to both, the information with the most recent date is used.
