Easy-Select bars
The Easy-Select bars are the check boxes on the left side of the Folders and Organize panes.
You can use the Easy-Select bars to select multiple folders or categories, and display their
contents in the File List pane. In the Organize pane you can also use the Easy-Select bar to
select combinations of categories, ratings, auto categories, saved searches, and special items.
For example, you could display all your photos with a rating of 1 that belonged to the category
People.
You can also use the Easy-Select bars with the Selective Browsing pane.
When you use the Match any/All buttons and the Easy-select bars together, the Organize pane
becomes a powerful search tool for finding unique sets of files.
To use the Easy-Select bar:
In the Organize pane, select the check box to the left of each item with contents you want to
display.
If you select a category, rating, or combination that does not have any files that
match, the File List displays a message and shows no thumbnails. The quickest
way to return to a folder with files, is to click Back
.
To view organized files:
Select one or more categories, ratings, auto categories, saved searches, or special items. Files
assigned to those classifications are displayed in the File List pane.
The Contents bar at the top of the File List pane displays whatever categories or items are
currently selected. You can browse through specific categories, ratings, or items within specific
folders using the Selective Browsing pane.
Match All Match Any
There are two Match All/ Match Any drop-down lists on the Organize pane; one at the top of
the pane that affects categories and one that affects saved searches. You can use the Match All
and Any options to affect the display of thumbnails in the File List in the following way:
x Match All - to be included, a file has to belong to all the categories or searches you
select. So the file has to be in both or all of the categories or searches before it will
display in the File List. Match All is more exclusive. You can use it to limit the number of
files that display and narrow a search down.
x Match Any - to be included, a file can belong to any of the categories or searches you
select. So any files in the selected categories or searches will display in the File List.
Match any it is more inclusive.
