Browsing files by date or event
With the Calendar pane you can browse your collection of image and media files using the
dates associated with each file. The Calendar pane includes Events, Year, Month, Day view and
the Photo Calendar, which shows thumbnails per day within a month. You can click any date in
the Calendar pane to display a list of files associated with that date.
To open the Calendar pane:
On the menu bar, click View | Calendar.
The Calendar pane opens on the right, 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 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.
