Viewing And Setting Detailed File Information - Maxtor Fusion User Manual

MAXTOR FUSION USER'S GUIDE
Selecting the View
The following views allow you to sort your files in many
useful ways:
View as Thumbnails – Small images (38x24-pixel thumb-
nails) representing your files are organized alphabetically
based on filename.
View as Large Thumbnails – Same as the previous view
except the thumbnails are larger (58x52 pixels).
View as Timeline – A clickable timeline allows you to sort
your files by selecting a date of interest. Further, your sort
can be based on import date (the date the file was imported
into Maxtor Fusion) or authored date (the date the file was
created).
For example, to view all the files that were created on May 4,
2006, you would click AUTHORED > 2006 > MAY > 4 on the
timeline. Your files will appear and your date selections will
have red parentheses around them in the timeline. Bold
formatting is applied to a month or day to indicate that files
exist for that date.
NOTE: Because this view considers all the files on
Maxtor Fusion, it usually takes more time to display
than the other sorting choices.
View as List – A list of folders is displayed on the left and a
simple text list of filenames is displayed and sorted alpha-
betically on the right. This view is helpful if you remember
the names of the files you need, or like to look at lists.
View as Detail – A cascading view of your files is presented.
Three columns are used to show the folders and file you
traverse and the columns scroll to the left if you traverse
more than three levels of hierarchy.
In this view, the controls normally found in the Detailed
Information window (a popup from the other views) are
continuously available on the right side of this view. Double-
click a file to show its details in this area. With these
controls, you can rename the file, download it, play it, or
enter a description and one or more tags. In this same area,
you can use the Left and Right arrow icons to sequence
through the previous and next files in the selected folder.
View All – A hierarchical view of your entire library. Unlike
the other views, you do not select this one from the bar of
other view icons. To get to this view, click on the ORGANIZE
icon at the top right-hand side of the browser, and then click
on the VIEW ALL button. You can drag and drop files between
categories easily in this view.

Viewing and Setting Detailed File Information

Detailed information and settings are displayed after
double-clicking a file. As later topics will discuss, you can
view an enlarged thumbnail, download the file, rotate the
thumbnail, see if the file is public or private, move backward
and forward between the files, rename the file, download it,
play it, or enter a description and one or more tags for the
file.
