Hi all.
I'm trying to find a clip art cataloging application. PictureBase is
pretty good, but it doesn't handle EPS files and it requires all the
catalog files on the same disk which eats a lot of space. Curator
scans disks and presents keyword searches and thumbnails, but you
still have to feed it the individual disks. I'm looking for a
combination of the two: something that keeps the bitmap thumbnails and
keywords in one place, but keeps the location of the graphic file
rather than the file itself. That way, I can scan my catalog by
keyword or thumbnail browse and when I think I've found what I want,
it will tell me the disk and folder(s) in which to look for the actual
graphic.
Does such a thing exist? If so, where do I get it?
Thanks. If you mail me, I will summarize to the net.

A black chicken!" There's a program called Multi-Ad SEARCH, that does everything you want, is blindingly fast, and is incredibly inexpensive. It also suppors thumbnails, and has already been accepted as a standard by several major clip-art vendors to the point that these vendors are putting keywords and such in SEARCH's format in their files. I saw a demo of this at a MUG meeting - by the author, no less - tis amazing. -- ------------ Mark Hartman uucp: ...{spsd,zardoz,felix}!dhw68k!emmayche Internet:emmayche@dhw68k.cts.com CompuServe: >internet:emmayche@dhw68k.cts.com Applelink: N1083
