How do I initialize my lightroom catalog before using Excire Search?

[ExcireThomas]

Go to "Library->Plug-in Extras->Initialize Photos..." and start the dialogue (or press the shortcut). In the dialog you can specify wether you want to initialize all of your images in your catalog or just the images in your current filmstrip. Please notice, that we recommend to conduct the initialization over night and/or sequentially for subsets of images.
