4-2 Working with ibid Files
Understanding ibid Files
An ibid file records all pen and eraser strokes, as well as
snapshots, made on your Polaroid whiteboard. A session
begins when you start writing on the whiteboard with the
ibid application running and ends when you close the file
or exit the application.
All whiteboard activity during a session is recorded in the
same file, unless you open a different one. Whenever
ibid
is running, one file (either a saved or untitled file)
must be open.
O O O O
Only one ibid file can be open at a time.
Files are saved in a directory named Ibid or at the loca-
tion you specified during software installation.
Here are some suggestions to keep your files organized:
•
Create a folder for each topic and a .wbd file for
each session.
•
Create a .wbd file for each topic.
•
Create a file for each day or time period.
File formats
ibid
uses a proprietary, compact, vector-based file format
readable only by ibid or IbidViewer. For your conven-
ience, the snapshots in
ibid
files can be moved, copied,
deleted or renamed. You can also export snapshots from
ibid files in bitmap (.bmp), Windows metafile (.wmf),
JPEG and TIFF formats via the Windows clipboard, or
click and drag them into any OLE-compliant application
(e.g., Microsoft Word or PowerPoint).
O O O O
File export via ibid ’s Send feature is limited to
bitmap and Windows metafile formats.
