3.3. Changing the profile

Section 3.2.3.1 above has shown that the categories to be searched are displayed in form of pull-down menus. These categories are specified in a so-called “profile” (stored in the folder “user-directory \ IMDI-TOOLS \ Profiles \ local”). To change the profile, do the following:

  1. Click on File menu.

  2. Click on Change Profile. The Open dialog window appears and displays all available profiles, e.g.:

  3. Double-click on the profile you want to use. The IMDI Metadata Search window will display the chosen profile. E.g., the following illustration displays some categories that are specific to sign language research and that are defined in the profile “SignLanguage.Profile.xml”:

[Note]Note

Note: For the moment, profiles have to be programmed by hand. In future versions of the IMDI tools, it will be possible to create profiles with the help of the IMDI (Metadata) Editor.
