Using an Index Manager search result as input files
Where: Channel | Input Options | Index Manager Input tab
Here you may set up a channel in such a way that Index Manager will notify Color Factory when an
index has been updated. Then, Color Factory will send a search request to the Index Manager server and
process any hits. In order to utilize this functionality you must enter the path to the index folder and the
search criteria by clicking Insert Search String.
By ticking Output file is the same as the input file, Color Factory will save the processed input file in
the original folder, overwriting the file originally in the archive and overriding any output folder and auto
routing settings.
If Delete input file after processing has been checked, the input file will be deleted from the archive
after the file has been processed. Note that enabling this option rules out the above feature and vice
versa.
Ruling out previously processed files from subsequent searches
To ensure that Color Factory doesn’t process the same file in the index archive indefinitely, you may
change the metadata in one or more fields in the processed images by clicking on the Metadata Macro
button. This way, when Color Factory queries Index Manager, the already processed files will not be
found again.
