Instructions

To correct this issue, simply edit the data path for thumbnails folder:

1. Open TOTAL's Appraisal Desktop, click Tools on the upper left, and select Configure Settings from the drop‑down menu.
2. Click Browse to the right of the Thumbnails path in the Data paths & program connectivity section of the General settings.

   

3. Browse to the location below and select the Thumbs folder:

   

   For Windows XP:

   C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\a la mode\database
   Note that [username] will be replaced by your Windows username.

   For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8:

   C:\Users\[username]\Documents\a la mode\Database\
   Note that [username] will be replaced by your Windows username.

   If you don't have a Thumbs folder inside of the Database folder, make sure that the Database folder is selected, click Make New Folder on the lower left, type Thumbs for the folder name, and press Enter.

   

4. Once you have located or created your Thumbs folder, make sure it is highlighted and click OK.

That's it!  Once you have updated the data path for your thumbnails, import your images using QuickPix Importer again. TOTAL is now able to save your images to the correct location without them being overwritten by the thumbnails.
