Reference manager

Check resources, repair or update links.

ContextCapture projects refer to several external resources: input photos and masks, as well as output directories. The reference manager interface allows you to check, repair or update corresponding links.

Some resources may be synchronized with the cloud. The reference manager dialog allows to check and control the synchronization.

Note: If the project contains unloaded blocks, the reference manager will temporary load them in order to manage project references properly (see also Load/unload blocks).

Check resources status with Update status. Repair or update links with the Replace in paths tool, or editing resources paths directly.

Changes appear in bold characters in the resources table and are actually applied only when you click on Apply changes.
