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. Click Tools | Options, and then select 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:
x 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.
x 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.
x To restore the default Custom tab settings, click Reset.
7. Click OK.
Using the Task Pane
The Task Pane displays groups of often-used tasks from the menus and toolbars based on your
current location and selections in ACDSee. The Task Pane usually opens and on the right side of
the Browser.
To open or close the Task pane:
In the Browser or Viewer, click View | Task Pane.
The menus in the Task Pane change depending on what area of the Browser you are working in
and what items you select. For example, if you select more than a folder in the File List pane,
the Task Pane displays different menus than it does if you select a photo or media file.
The options on the Task Pane menus also change dynamically. For example, if you select
multiple images in the File List, the options in the Fix and Enhance Photos menu change to list
options that you can use with multiple images.
