How to use Multi-Library
Separate archives for every client. Multi-Library lets you split your work into independent libraries — one per wedding, client, or year — and switch between them without mixing files, ratings, or search results.
What Multi-Library is
Multi-Library gives each project its own self-contained database. Every library has its own files, ratings, smart collections, and search index, so a wedding from last year never pollutes this year's client archive.
Libraries can be exported as a single .flib file for backup or hand-off, and imported again later.
What it is for
Professional photographers juggle many clients and projects. Multi-Library exists so you can keep each one fully separate — its own search, its own ratings, its own statistics — while still working in one app.
How it works
- Create — start a fresh library for a new client.
- Switch — jump between libraries instantly.
- Templates — create a new library from a template of an existing one.
- Merge — combine two libraries into one.
- Export/import — archive a library as a
.flibfile.
The default library can never be deleted, and you can always switch back to it.
How to use it
- Create a new library for a client or project.
- Sort, cull, and search inside that library.
- Merge it into an archive when the project is done — or keep it separate.
- Export it as a
.flibfile for backup.
What it brings you
- Clean separation between clients.
- Fast, focused search per project.
- Portable
.flibarchives. - Merge and template tools for recurring jobs.
