Curator User Guide
For macOS
Curator lets you collect, manage and organize your digital tearsheets.
In Curator, a tearsheet is represented as a "tile". A tile is a reference to an image or video content file along with its metadata (source url, title, description e.t.c)
The following content types are currently supported:
image / jpeg
image / gif
(including animated GIFs)
image / png
image / webp
video / mpeg2
video / mpeg4
video / mpeg
A collection of tiles is represented as a "folder". A folder is a reference to an actual folder in the filesystem.
Important: in Curator, folders are only allowed to go two levels deep.
