File Summary Info
File Summary Info
Use this command if you want to edit the summary information of the design. This allows you to add the "Title",
"Subject", "Author", "Category", "Keywords", "Revision Number" and "Comments" to your design. These information will be displayed in the yellow hint
when you display the design in Manager and place the mouse pointer on the preview area. Also, once you add the summary information to your
designs, you can use the "Right Panel -> Folder Operations -> Search" command to search for design with specified "Keyword", etc.
(see also Search Files tutorial).
Warning: File Summary Info command works only on PCs with Windows 2000 and Windows
XP, and only with disks formatted with NTFS file system (i.e. it does not work with FAT
system).
Note: The "File Summary Info" will be lost if you copy the design from
NTFS disk to e.g. FAT disk, because FAT disks do not support the streams required for storing the info.
