Configuring Media Collector For Music - HP EX495 - 1.5TB Mediasmart Home Server User Manual

HP MediaSmart Server User's Guide
In contrast, the right pane is organized by PC folder structure
If photos are found under a user's home Pictures folder, then they will be grouped just under the
user's name with the underlying folder organization. This still may include some simplification in
that photos for user Susan on computer1 and user Susan on computer2 will be coalesced into a
single group. This may result in some duplicate photos being represented once.
On the other hand, if the photos were found on a computer in a folder other than a user's home
Pictures folder, they will be grouped under the computer name, with a path showing their
placement on the computer. In general, the "by folder" organization is most helpful if you have
already organized your photos and don't want to lose your folder structure.
