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 Calendar pane opens on the left, tabbed with the Folders and Favorites panes.
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 Pro 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.
