Photo Storage

New photos captured by Photozig Albums are stored in the photo storage folder of the program.

Changing the photo storage location

To move the photo storage to a different folder or hard disk, click on the "Options" icon in the Home screen, select the tab "Storage", click on the "Change Storage Folder...", and follow instructions.

The photos and movie clips in Photozig Albums are stored in a folder named Photozig Albums inside your My Documents folder. This folder is known in the program as the Storage Folder and, if you prefer, you can choose any other folder of your preference (usually on a disk drive with as much space as possible), as you can configure in the Options form.

With Photozig Albums you can capture photos from any source, for instance:

• Digital Cameras
• Scanners
• Memory cards
• CDs
• DVDs
• Hard drives
• Floppy disks

All the photos (and movie clips) retrieved from removable media are copied into the Storage Folder. Photos that are already in your hard drives will not be moved or duplicated. The photo database creates links to them to know where they are located.

The photos transferred to the system are stored in sub-folders named after the albums that you create, inside the storage folder. When you edit or rotate your photos, the modified versions are stored in sub-folders of the album, so the originals are always preserved.

The program also uses several auxiliary files to manage the photo database, which are stored in the folder Photozig Albums/Storage, inside your Application Data folder.

Important: We strongly recommend that you don't directly modify the files in the mentioned folders, because you can corrupt the Photozig Albums database. You will not loose your photos by doing that (unless you tamper with the photo files themselves), but the program may behave unpredictably.
