KEY FUNCTION COMMENT
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
R Read Directory Looks through user-selected directory for specified
file extension, and loads name and other data into
PIXFIL database. Allows you to specify a security
level and category for all selected files. If the
file already exists in the database, the routine
will not add it.
V View Picture Shows the currently selected picture. This
function returns an error message and allows
you to delete the record if the file no longer
exists. The operator's security level must be
equal to or greater than the picture's or an error
message displays instead of the picture.
You can also view a picture from within the find screen. This is especially
helpful if you want to find a group of files by category or ID string, then
view them. If the file no longer exists in the specified path, you'll see an
error message to that effect at the top of the screen. The routine also checks
the operator's security level in the same way as V)iew from the main screen.
