Exporting descriptions

Starting from version 1.50 ADC can export its internal database into some external formats (please refer to the next chapter for more details), but previously implemented feature to export the file/folder descriptions is still here. It allows to extract your own (or added automatically during disk scan) comments into the files like index.txt or files.bbs. Just select ”File | Export | Descriptions” menu item (please note that it is available only if some disk is selected in the left panel); ADC will prompt you for the file name, and after confirmation all the descriptions (for the files and folders on a given disk) will be exported. The program will create/update the description files in appropriate folders on that disk (of course, the disk should not be read-only or write-protected). That feature might be useful, for example, if you are going to more some folders or files to the other location and re-scan them later in ADC, but don't want to loose the descriptions you've already added. When you will scan that disk again (with the description files already exported), we'd recommend you to setup ADC so it will extract the descriptions only from these files, but not from other sources (such as archives, sound files, MS Office documents, other description files etc).
