PixFiler is an advanced application designed to help users manage large numbers of files based on custom categories and annotations.
Since the application does not support drag-and-drop, users need to navigate to and select the files they want to add through their drive's file structure. Once the files are selected and added, they can be managed and organized by adding them to categories, inserting annotations or assigning them 'grades' (or stars) from 1 to 5.
Once this step is complete, users can export indexes as CSV text files, which contain file names and attributes, or as EXP (a proprietary format for exporting indexes) files. When exporting an index as an EXP file, the application can also export the actual images which will be placed in the same folder as the EXP file.
Pictures can be displayed in full-screen mode or as a slideshow and filtered by category year, place or event or searched for by name and description.
When it comes to sharing their work, users can choose between emailing selected pictures, printing them (using various page layouts), creating HTML albums, or autorun enabled CDs and DVDs.
