10: Copying Between Libraries

plug


In general, different libraries are completely separate collections of facets that do not relate. For example, two facets in different libraries can have the same name without being the same size or having the same content. The only way to combine libraries is to copy facets from one library to another.
The Cross-Library Copy... command of the Facets menu provides a dialog for copying into between libraries. The facets in the current library are shown on the left. Facets in another library are listed on the right. When there is a facet with the same name in both libraries, the system compares modification dates to determine which is newer,
Figure 3.5

By choosing a facet in the right-hand library and clicking "<< Copy", that facet is copied into the left-hand library. The "Copy >>" button does the reverse. If there are subfacets or associated views that are newer, they are also copied.
