Nano Sequencer

The Nano Sequencer also contains all of
the show's content and order, but displays
a miniaturized broad view of the show.
The Nano Sequencer displays most, if not all, of
the slides in your show at once.

Sorting Content

A sort can be performed on all the
thumbnails on the desktop, or only on
thumbnails that are selected. A sort can
use only one criteria at a time. Use one of
the following criteria for a sort:
• File Name
• File Date
• File Size
• File Type
• Image Width
• Image Height
When a sort is complete, the thumbnails
are re-arranged, based on the sort criteria
used. For example, if you perform a sort
based on file name, thumbnails are
arranged alphabetically.
To perform a sort:
1. Select the thumbnails you want to
sort.
2. Click the Sort control. A series of
buttons appear.
Click the Sort control to display criteria buttons.
3. Click the criteria button you want to
use. The thumbnails are rearranged.
Option/Alt-click inverts the sort
order.
4. Click the Sequence Floatoid which
maintains sort order as the sorted files
are quickly loaded into the Sequencer.

Working with Thumbnails

Thumbnails visually represent the files
you imported in the IN Room. The SORT
Room offers several features and controls
that let you sort, select, and size
thumbnails.

Arranging Thumbnails

All the content you can use to create a
show are displayed as thumbnails on the
desktop of the SORT Room.
Imported content appears as thumbnail piles.
Pictures imported separately appear as
single thumbnails. Pictures imported in
folders appear as thumbnail piles. You can
move the thumbnails and organize them
into separate piles. For example, you can
create a pile of landscape pictures or a pile
of party photos.
