IMatch provides powerful functions and commands to work with files and folders. Doing all your file-level operations in IMatch is important, because it allows IMatch to keep track of everything you do and keep the database up-to-date.
This view shows the folders indexed by your database. It offers commands to create, rename, move, copy, delete and search folders and is similar to Windows Explorer.
This topic describes all the functions available to create, move, copy, rename, reject and delete files and folders.
Always use the integrated file management functions for files managed in IMatch.
This allows IMatch to keep track of your changes and to keep the database up-to-date and in-synch with the file system.
When you (or another software) moves or renames files outside of IMatch, use the Relocate command to let IMatch know where the files are.
This topic explains the IMatch File Window, which is the feature that shows you the contents of folders, categories, collections etc.
The Renamer allows you to rename multiple files at once (batch rename). You can apply rules to produce exactly the file and folder names you want. The Renamer can also be used to distribute files by moving and copying them.
IMatch allows you to define rules about which files belong together and how they relate. For example, RAW files and the JPG files and other derivative images you create from them.
With file relations you set up buddy files, versions and stacks.
With the batch processor you can export your images into other file formats, add text, borders, annotations, canvasses, overlays, watermarks and even QR Codes. You can control precisely if, and which, metadata to include in the output files.
Remove personal data before uploading files to web sites.
This app enables you to quickly add or change date and time for your files.
For example when the camera clock was set wrong and you need to shift the time by a couple of hours for many files. Or maybe add or correct time-zones.
Do you have problems with the metadata in your files? Data missing or displayed wrong?
Maybe some other application made a mess? Use the Metadata Analyst to check your files for common metadata problems.
See Metadata for Beginners for more information about metadata and typical problems and solutions.
