Auto-hiding panes and panels
You can use the Auto Hide button to automatically hide some panes and panels in ACDSee Pro. When a pane is set to auto-hide, it
rolls away when you click outside of it, leaving a tab displayed. You can access the pane by moving the cursor over the tab. When a
pane or panel is floating, the auto-hide feature is not available. You cannot move the pane to a new location if it is set to auto-hide.
The Auto Hide button's appearance on the pane’s title bar reflects its current setting:
A horizontal pushpin indicates that the pane is set to automatically hide when you click outside of it.
A vertical pushpin indicates that the pane is fixed and will remain visible even if you click outside of
it
To set or remove auto-hide:
Click the Auto Hide button on the title bar so that it displays a slanted or horizontal pushpin.
Using the Custom tab in the Properties pane
There is a Custom tab in the Properties pane that you can configure to display the file property, database, EXIF, or IPTC information
that you use most often. This means that you can keep all the data, which is most important to you, visible on the custom tab while
you browse or view files.
To configure the Custom tab:
1. In Manage mode, click Tools | Options | Properties Pane.
2. Select Show custom property tab to display the Custom tab.
You can type a new name for the Custom tab in the Custom tab title text box.
3. Click Choose Display Information.
4. To remove an item from the Custom tab, click the item in the Currently Displayed Details box to the right, then click
Remove.
5. To add an item to the Custom tab, click the item in the Available Details box to the left, then click Add.
6. To group and rearrange items on the Custom tab, do any of the following:
Click Add Group, type a name for the group in the Title text box, then click OK. You can then add items to the group.
Select an item in the Currently Displayed Details box, and then click Move Up to move the item up the list of items,
or click Move Down to move the item down the list of items.
To restore the default Custom tab settings, click Reset.
