Browsing favorite files

Creating a shortcut

You can create shortcuts to folders and files, and even run executable files, from inside the Favorites pane. Favorite shortcuts can

be copied, renamed, moved, or deleted just like a folder. You can even use an executable shortcut to start another application from

inside ACDSee Pro. You can also create a shortcut by dragging a file, folder, or executable file directly from the File List pane to the

Favorites pane.

To create a Favorites shortcut:

1. In the File List pane, select a file, folder, or executable file.

2. Do one of the following:

Right-click the item you selected, and then select Add to Favorites.

Click File | Add to Favorites.

3. Type a name for the new shortcut and click OK.

Creating a new folder

You can create a folder, or an entire directory tree, in the Favorites pane to help organize your shortcuts.

To create a new folder:

1. In the Favorites pane, right-click the Favorites folder, or a folder you previously created, and then select New | Folder.

2. Type the name of the folder and press Enter.

If you move a file or a folder that is a favorite, you break the link and the favorite no longer works.

Deleting a shortcut or folder

You can delete a shortcut or folder from within the Favorites pane.

To delete a shortcut or folder:

In the Favorites pane, right-click the shortcut or folder, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the

shortcut or folder.

Using the Organize pane

The Organize pane is one of the most useful panes in Manage mode as it provides so many tools for organizing and managing your

files. Without moving files from their folders, you can create your own hierarchy of categories, and assign files to them by dragging

the files into the new categories. Your categories can be simple or complex and follow use any names that make sense to you. There

are different icons to use for different categories sets to help you identify them at a glance.
