7.1 The File Menu

7.1.12 Browse

Browse shows all pictures of one directory as thumbnails. A detailed description can be found in chapter 5.4 and the settings in chapter 7.10.1.33 "Browse/Preview Images" and in chapter 7.10.1.34 "Browse/Settings".

If you select this function, PhotoLine will open a window containing the thumbnails of the current directory. If there are many or very large pictures in the directory, this operation may last up to some minutes. Double-clicking one of the thumbnails opens the corresponding picture. It is possible to drag and drop a thumbnail on a picture window. The picture will be added as a new layer.

In order to save time, PhotoLine stores the created thumbnails in a file named "Browse.plb". Therefore, browsing will be much faster next time.
