When you start the TIGERRegistry tool, it first checks whether you have the permissions to read, write, and create files in the corpus directory. If you do not have the required permissions, an information window pops up. The TIGERRegistry tool will not be started.
If the permission check has been successful, the TIGERRegistry main window appears (cf. screenshot). Position and size of the window are saved when leaving the tool. So the arrangement of your windows will be restored in the next TIGERRegistry session.
The TIGERSearch User's Manual can be accessed directly within the TIGERRegistry user interface. The TIGERRegistry help window can be activated by pressing the Help button in the upper toolbar or selecting one of the items in the Help menu.

Now you can browse through the corpus tree (left hand side of the window) and have a look at the corpus properties (right hand side). Just click on a corpus symbol to see the corresponding corpus properties. All operations on this corpus tree (insert a new corpus, delete a corpus etc.) can be activated by pressing the appropriate button in the toolbar, or selecting the appropriate item in the popup-menu (activated by clicking the right mouse button on the corpus symbol), or selecting the corresponding item in the menu bar.
Please note: In contrast to file management tools there is
no Undo function available in the TIGERRegistry tool!
