Starting Stuffkeeper
After you start stuffkeeper, you should see the following, empty, window:
To be able todo something, you need to add a type.
Adding a type
1. switch the combo box from "Tags" to "Types"
2. Right mouse in the left tree: "New type"
To edit the name of a title, double click on the name, and you can edit it.
Editing a type
The item is still empty, so todo something usefull with the item, we select it, right click on it and select "Edit"
Now you can add fiels, by clicking Add.
An (quick) example for an audio CD:
Adding an item
Now that we have a type, we can start adding items of this type. Click on the arrow beside the add button to select a specific type, clicking on the add button itself will add the last selected type.
Now that we added a item, it appears on the right side in the tree, if you select it you see it on this image.
You can enter directly in the lower right, or activate the row, to see the item in a separate window.
In this document I just edit it directly.
Editing an item
The "Title" field is linked to what is visible in the list, editing either the list, or the title field will update the other one instantly.
Images, are copied into stuffkeeper db, and scaled to 250x250 pixels.
For Example:
Now that we have an item lets add tags.
Adding Tags
1. Switch back to "Tags" 2. Right mouse on the left tree , "New tag"
Here you can edit them again by double clicking on the name.
Say we add the following tags: Music, Jazz, CD Rack 2, they directly appear in the item opened on the right, or in a separate window. Stuffkeeper is fully instant apply.
Adding tags to an item
This can be done by clicking on the greyed out tags in the item view on the right. Click again to remove it again.
