points will be selected.
• Or "Ctrl + click" to add that item to the selection.
Re-ordering items in the gallery
In some galleries, "MORE" > "SORT" opens a dialog box. You can sort by name and,
depending on the gallery, by other criteria. The primary key controls the initial sort.
For some sort parameters such as file type or name length, there may be two or more
files with the same type or name length. These files can be further sorted using the
secondary key.
Searching for an item name
You can search, for example, for all names containing the word red:
1. Choose "MORE" > "FIND".
2. Type "red" into the text box.
3. Select "SEARCH NAMES & KEYWORDS" to search
only the item names, e.g. file, color, etc., or
"
SEARCH ALL INFORMATION" to search the names
