With the convenience of thumbnails and the familiar Windows Explorer
functionality, Photo Explorer makes it simple and easy to work with
multimedia files.
Displaying files in thumbnail
or list view
When you select a folder from the
Folder Tree, multimedia files are
displayed as visual thumbnails in the
Browse Pane on the right hand side
of Photo Explorer's Browser window.
A thumbnail is a small replica of the
actual image or an icon representing a
sound file. A thumbnail also shows
the very first image that appears in a
video or GIF animation file.
To switch between thumbnail and list
viewing modes, click View: Thumb-
Sample thumbnails
nail/List Mode.
Speeding up thumbnail display
If you have a large number of multimedia files in a folder, it may take
Photo Explorer some time to generate thumbnails for the files and display
them on-screen. Instead of regenerating thumbnails each time the same
folder is accessed, Photo Explorer can store them in a cache folder. The
next time you access that folder, Photo Explorer simply loads the thumb-
nail images from it.
The procedure next page shows how you can customize Photo Explorer to
create thumbnail files.
