To rename a folder, right-click the folder you want to rename and select Rename. Type a new name for the folder and
press Enter.
You cannot rename a drive or any folder on a read-only file system, such as a CD-ROM.
To open a folder or file in Windows Explorer:
Do one of the following:
In the Folders or Favorites pane, CTRL + right-click the folder containing that file. Click Explore. The folder opens in Win-
dows listing the images in that folder in the left-hand pane.
In the File List pane, to use the Windows right-click menu, select a thumbnail, then press CTRL + right-click.
If you want to use the Windows right-click menu permanently, you can do so under Tools | Options | File List.
Browsing files by date or event
With the Calendar pane you can browse your collection of image and media files using the dates associated with each file. The
Calendar pane includes Events, Year, Month, Day view and the Photo Calendar, which shows thumbnails per day within a month.
You can click any date in the Calendar pane to display a list of files associated with that date.
To open the Calendar pane:
In Manage mode, click View | Calendar.
The Photo Calendar opens above the File List pane, which moves down so that you only see a single row of thumbnails.
Your images will not display in the Calendar pane until you have either browsed the folder containing the images or used
the Catalog Files Wizard to catalog your images so they are in the ACDSee 12 database.
If you are using the Photo Calendar, you only see thumbnails if there are photos on a particular day in that month. Days that
have no photo, are blank.
