Copying a fi le
Copying a fi le puts it in an additional folder, while keeping it in the original folder. You can copy multiple fi les at once. Copying a fi le duplicates
the original full-resolution version stored in the folder; not the compressed version displayed in the MediaShare Application.
1. To
copy a fi le, start by selecting its folder.
2. Select the fi le, display the menu, and then select Copy. Select the destination folder, display the menu, and then select Paste.
Note that you cannot copy and paste a fi le to another application, and you cannot copy and paste data from another application into the MediaShare Application.
Moving a fi le
Moving a fi le puts it in a different folder. You can move multiple fi les at once.
1. To move a fi le, start by selecting its folder, and then drag and drop it to another folder.
2. You can also select the fi le, display the menu, and then select Cut. Select the destination folder, display the menu, and then select Paste.
Note that you cannot cut and paste a fi le to another application, and you cannot cut and paste data from another application into the MediaShare Application.
Adding a Caption
Adding a caption stores a description of the fi le. The caption will appear when viewing a fi le within a folder or album, and when an image is
shared through Facebook, Flickr or RSS. You can search for a fi le by entering text from its caption. See “Searching for Files and Folders”.
1. To add a caption to a fi le, start by selecting its folder.
2. Select the fi le, display the menu, and then select View Details.
3. Enter the caption in the Caption box of the Details section.
Alternatively, in Thumbnail view, you can select the fi le, click the Click to add caption message, and then enter the caption. In List view, you can
select the fi le, and then enter the caption into the Caption column.
Adding tags
Adding tags stores additional information about the fi le. The tags will appear in the Details section when viewing a fi le within a folder. The tags
will not appear when viewing an album, nor when images are shared through Facebook, Flickr or RSS. You can search for a fi le by entering text
from its tags. See “Searching for Files and Folders”.
1. To add tags to a fi le, start by selecting its folder.
2. Select
the
fi le, display the menu, and then select View Details.
3. Alternatively, select the fi le, and then click the Show Details icon. Enter the tags in the Tags box of the Details section.
Tags allow you to describe each fi le on your MediaShare. If you tag fi les consistently, you will be able to fi nd them more easily, especially as
their number grows over time. For example, assume you took a number of pictures on a beach vacation. You enter tags for each picture: beach,
sandcastle, summer vacation. Some pictures have a person in them, so you enter their name as tags in those pictures. Later you can search for
vacation pictures using these tags and only photos with the searched tag will appear.
Note that you can tag music, video and documents as well as photos.
Renaming a fi le
Renaming a fi le changes its name. You can only rename a fi le within a folder.
1. To rename a fi le, start by selecting its folder.
2. Select
the
fi le, display the menu, and then select Rename. When prompted, enter the new name, and then click Rename.
Note that if you rename a fi le, and an album contains a reference to that fi le, the item will no longer be available from the album.
Downloading a fi le
Downloading a fi le retrieves the original full-resolution version of the fi le. You can select multiple fi les for downloading at once. Depending on
your browser settings, you can open the fi le, download it to a specifi c directory, or download it to the default directory.
1. To download a fi le, select it, display the menu, and then select Download. A window lists the selected fi les. Click the Download button
beside the desired fi le.
