## What's New in Portfolio 5.0?

Portfolio version 5.0 is a major upgrade to this popular cataloging program, adding a number of exciting new features and enhancements. Minor enhancements are too numerous to mention, but the major new features and enhancements are listed below.

New to Portfolio in version 5.0 are:

- Palette Interface—Palettes provide easier access to information that was previously available only from submenus or dialogs. The new palette interface allows you to execute finds, load galleries, and sort record sets faster than ever before.

- Dockable Palettes—Helps you keep your workspace uncluttered by allowing you to dock and undock palettes as you need them.

- Edit in place—Edit fields directly in Record view.

- Watermarking—Read and embed Digimarc™ watermarks.

- Search across multiple catalogs—Expand searches to include both intranet (local network) and Internet based catalogs.

- Disk Previews—Lets you capture a full-sized screen resolution image when items are cataloged, and access it even if the original image is on a disk that is not currently mounted.

- Multi-page file format—Allows you to preview each page of a multi-page document, and search the text inside it.

- Create Placeholder Records—Allows you to create a blank record for any item whose source file is not yet available.

- SQL Database Support—Allows corporate Portfolio users to interface with a pre-existing SQL database. (Sold separately.)

- PortWeb—A Portfolio plug-in (part of the Portfolio Client/Server package) that allows Portfolio databases to be published to HTML web servers and dynamically searched by viewers with web browsers is now included with Portfolio.

Enhancements include:

- Translators—Improved item translation and functionality.

- Saved Galleries and Finding—Improvements to Galleries and Finding prompt you to save Galleries, and lets you link a saved find and predefined sort order to specific Galleries.

- Slideshow—Adds optional data fields displayed with the image, enhanced proofing controls, and the ability to export slideshows as QuickTime™ movies (Mac OS only).

- Background Cataloging—Improvements include multiple folder watch and easier task monitoring.

- Preview—Adds a host of new features and improved preview controls.

- Server Administration—Multiple improvements, including allowing catalogs to be managed without closing them on the server.
