Restore Projects from back up and importing Projects
If you want to restore the Projects from your back up, or import all the
Images and Interviews sent to you by other researchers, ImageInterviewer can
help you identify the ZIP compressed file, which it will use to create a new
Project with all the Images and Interviews in it. If you have already
uncompressed the ZIP file, ImageInterviewer can import such Projects, too. This will
be explained later in this section.
To import the Images and Interviews from a ZIP compressed file, use
Project | Import Project menu. A dialogue box will pop up. It may look
differently on other operating systems. The picture below shows how it looks
on a Windows XP operating system.
Navigate through your computer and select the ZIP compressed file and
press OK. Now the dialogue will close, and ImageInterviewer will show a dialogue that
prompts you where to store the Images and Interviews. You can accept the
prompted values, or specify the location of your choice, like explained in
Changing location of the Project on disk
section.
When you click OK, a new Project will be created and filled with the
Images and Interviews contained in the ZIP compressed file.
Importing an uncompressed Project
If you already uncompressed the ZIP file, you can still import all the
Images and Interviews. To do that, use Project | Open menu. This will cause
a dialogue box to pop up. The look of the dialogue depends on the operating
system. The picture below shows how the dialogue will look on Windows XP.
Navigate through your computer and select the folder into which you
have uncompressed the Project files. Click OK. Now the Project with all its
Images and Interviews has been added to ImageInterviewer.
