Thumbnail Display
Options
Opens the Thumbnail Info page of the Options
dialog, where you can select the information to
display in the thumbnail pop-up and what overlay
icons to use.
Thumbnail Size Controls the size of the thumbnails in the File List
pane. Drag the slider to adjust the thumbnails.
Maximizing the File List pane
To make the most of your available screen space, you can choose to maximize the File List
pane and hide the rest of the Browser panes. The only parts of the Browser that remain visible
are the File List pane and whichever toolbars you are currently using.
To maximize the File List pane:
1. Click View | Maximize File List.
2. To show only the File List pane and its toolbar, click View | Full Screen.
3. Click the Close Full Screen button to return to the Browser.
Using the Windows Explorer right-click menu
You can open a file in Windows Explorer from inside ACDSee by using the Folders pane, or
Favorites pane.
To open files in Windows Explorer:
1. In the File List, to use the Windows right-click menu, select a thumbnail, then press
CTRL+right-click.
If you want to use the Windows right-click menu permanently, you can do so under Tools
| Options | File List.
2. In the Folders or Favorites pane, CTRL + right-click the folder containing that file.
3. Click Explore.
The folder opens in Windows listing the images in that folder in the right-hand pane.
Browsing using the Folders pane
The Folders pane displays a directory tree of all the folders on your computer, similar to
Windows Explorer. You can select one or more folders in the Folders pane to display their
contents in the File List pane.
You can also use the Folders pane to create shortcuts to your favorite files, folders, or
applications. Then, instead of having to search for a specific file, you can quickly access it in
the Favorites pane.
Whenever you browse to a folder using the Folders pane, the ACDSee database catalogs any
images or media files in the folder.
