License
-------
Copyright 2000-2003  BR Software/Riiber Software, Norway

A license for BR's PhotoArchiver costs US$ 29. This allows you to install
and use BR's PhotoArchiver on one computer. You may install on two computers
as long as the program is strictly for personal use. Businesses must buy
one license for each user. Discounts and site licenses are available on request.

You can try BR's PhotoArchiver free for 60 days. During
this period all functionality of the program will be available. At the
end of this period, all editing and import functions will stop working,
but you may still view your images. To restore full functionality, you
have to register the PhotoArchiver and pay the license fee (see
http://www.photoarchiver.com/register.html. You will then receive a
license code that will restore full functionality.

You are free to distribute the complete package (the file photoarchiver.zip)
in any way wou want, but GIVING THE LICENSE CODE TO OTHERS IS ILLEGAL.
Each license code is unique and traceable. 

System Requirements
-------------------
Windows95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP.
5 MB diskspace + room for database and images
32 MB memory
Pentium 100 MHz 
Graphic resolution of at least 800x600 and 65535 colours 
is recommended. Will work on 640x480, but 256 colours will 
not work well.

Installation
------------
Install by clicking the file setup.exe in this archive.
The installation procedure will be automatic, but you 
can choose where to place the program files. By default 
all files will be placed in \program files\PhotoArchiver. 

Uninstall
---------
This program can be completly uninstalled from the 
Control Panel as long as you don't put any new files 
into the program directory.


Just another image organizer?
-------------------------------------
The idea behind this program is different from most 
image cataloging programs. Instead of browsing directories 
of imagefiles, you import a reference to the files into a 
database. You can then forget all about where the files are 
located. Enter a description for each picture describing 
where and when the picture was taken, and a general description. 
This can be done very fast; either by using the text 
entered for one picture as default for the next or by 
specifying a range of pictures to update. All words in 
the description are searchable. Each picture may also be 
assigned to one or many categories (or albums). 
You may choose to search within one or all categories or you
may display all pictures in a certain category.

This makes a very powerful system for locating a certain 
picture. Some time ago, I needed to locate a picture of 
a Portugese Man of War that I took some years ago. 
I didn't remember which year it was taken so locating 
the picture by browsing directories would have taken time 
(I have several thousands pictues on my hard disc sorted by year). 
I just entered 'Portugese +man' in the searchfield and 
the picture was located (and displayed) in less than one second.


Getting started
---------------
1. Create a new photoarchive from the file menu
2. Import pictures
3. Add description to the imported pictures

- fixed a bug in the picture import. Pictures were sometimes marked as 
  not imported even if they had been imported.


Changes in version 2.2.0
------------------------

- the picture import routine has been completly rewritten. It is now
  more like File Manager. You can now select one or more directories and
  all files in that directoy will be imported.

- number of user defined fields have been increased. The user defined fields
  have been changed to look like a table. 

- comma separated datafiles (CSV) can be imported. One column of this file
  contain the filename of the photo to import information to. This 
  functionallity is intended for importing EXIF information.

- many menu functions have a shortcut command defined. (see menus for more
  information).
