Import Existing Name Lists
This article describes how to import people from an existing list to your FaceBase. After you have completed the steps below, the names will be automatically proposed when adding a name to a FaceBox in the main viewer.
Prepare Name Import File
Select or create a .txt file with all the names, like in our example file here.
You can also use a .txt short-code file, like this one here (with each line containing a short-code, a tab, and the name). Faceident will ignore the short-codes at the beginning and will load only the names.
Click the Import Names Button in the FaceBase
Select your prepared .txt file in the Finder.
Check the Imported Names in the List View
Before adding the names as FaceCards to the FaceBase, you can check the list and delete entries you do not want to import with the (-) button.
Click Add Names
To finalise the import process, click the Add Names button. All names will be imported as FaceCards into the FaceBase.
