Expo For Mac

Keeping track of all resource files that you might want to use in your projects can prove problematic if you are relying solely on the default OS X file management system. Expo is an assets management solution designed to streamline your workflow, and help you find new stock items.

To start using the Expo application, you must begin by importing all your resources to the catalog. Note that Expo will not tamper with the original files, since it will solely copy them to the app’s database.

Moreover, Expo enables you to browse various websites and quickly add newly found assets to your catalog.

Worth mentioning is that Expo provides support for adding tags, extensive notes and licensing details for each item, so you can readily identify the objects that have usage fees or conditions.

Expo is able to sort the files by type (artwork, audio, video, fonts, or documents), by import date, or by project. The app also comes with a collection of predefined smart folders that can help you identify archives, PDF files, royalty free assets, and so on.

To find particular items faster, you can use either the Quick Search or the Smart Search functions. The latter is very useful if you need to refine the results list using multiple criteria, and allows you to save your searches as smart folders.

Finding the right font or artwork for your projects can take a lot of time, especially if you are dealing with an extensive resources collection. Expo enables you to automatically organize the files by type and run queries based on tags or metadata information.

The best part is that, once you find the object you want to use, you can import it to a third party app or to a folder of your choice with simple drag and drop actions.
