Welcome to Indigo Magic MediaWarehouse. This guide describes MediaWarehouse and explains how to use it.
MediaWarehouse is an easy-to-use desktop scrapbook that you can use to store data objects on the desktop (see Figure 1-1). To copy a data object to MediaWarehouse, just drag it to the warehouse and drop it there, or cut and paste it. You can store objects such as an Inventor model or an audio clip.
MediaWarehouse is designed to make you more productive. Once you've stored an object in MediaWarehouse, you can search for it by keyword or data type, view it, and copy it from MediaWarehouse and paste it into other applications.
As you continue reading this guide, you'll learn the specifics about MediaWarehouse. Topics covered include:
How to get started with MediaWarehouse and how to store and view data objects. See Chapter 2, “Getting Started With MediaWarehouse.”
