Multiple Libraries

Aspect allows you to create or clone an arbitrary number of libraries. Any library that has been loaded in the past will be listed in the File → Change Library menu, which allows to quickly switch between different libraries.

If you are running a setup where a library is distributed over multiple hard drives (see Splitting a library over multiple hard disks), this menu will also list each of the the library instances. Whenever you want to perform an action that is specific to one of the library instances or hard drives, you will first have to switch switch to the appropriate instance.

Examples of such actions are configuring scanned folders, synchronization settings, or selecting events to keep on a particular hard drive.
