Working Within A Folder - Sharp MXUSX5 - Desk - PC User Manual

Working within a Folder

On the Folder Window, click on the desired folder. The documents contained in the folder are
displayed in the work area. Each of your documents appears as a thumbnail image, showing the
file's name and type. Note that it takes longer to generate thumbnails the first time a folder is
selected.
To page through a multi-page document, click on the document to select it, and then click on the
tab on either side of the thumbnail near the top. Or, use the Next Page or Previous Page options in
the View menu. When you move to the second page of a multi-page document, Sharpdesk will
"look ahead" at all of the pages to be ready for the next page request. The caption of the
thumbnail contains the current page number and the total known page count of the document,
separated by the '/' character. (For many documents, it is necessary to page through the entire
document to determine the total number of pages. Until the total page count of the file is known,
only the current page number will be displayed.) You can page back to the front of the document
using the left arrow or the Previous Page option on the View menu. Note that page numbers
displayed on the thumbnails are only an approximation of the number of pages known to the
application that created the file; the thumbnail page numbers may not match those the application
would use. Similarly, page breaks shown in the thumbnail may not match those shown by the
creating application.
The work area is automatically arranged according to the selected option from the Arrange
toolbar button. You can arrange thumbnails by Name, Date, Size (of the image file), or Type.
Whenever new documents are added to the work area, the thumbnails will be rearranged
according to the current setting of the Arrange option, with the new document occupying the
appropriate place. If you want new files arriving in the folder to be placed at the end, select Auto
Arrange Off; they will remain in that position until you refresh the display.
