How do I copy SNV data from CD or DVD to my hard disk to improve the speed with which the pictures load?
First, make sure you have enough room on your hard disk. In the initial release, SNV data files occupy a little more than 2 GB (gigabytes) of space. Computers sold in the last couple years should have much more space than necessary. Then, follow the steps below. These steps are for Windows machines, but it should be fairly obvious what the proper equivalents are on other platforms. • Make sure SNV is not running. • Choose a place on your hard disk to which the files will be copied. As a suggestion, copy the files to the installation directory of SNV (on Windows machines, this is C:\Program Files\SNV by default). • Open My Computer and navigate to the directory chosen in step 2. • Open My Computer again, and navigate to your CDRom or DVD drive. • Drag the directory snvdata from the CDRom/DVD drive to the target directory. If you are installing from CDRom, you will need to perform this step four times, changing SNV CDs each time to copy all of the data. Start SNV. Choose File: Preference
