Speeding up thumbnail display

If you have a large number of multimedia files in a folder, it may take Photo

Explorer some time to generate thumbnails for the files and display them on-

screen. Instead of regenerating thumbnails each time the same files are accessed,

Photo Explorer stores them in a cache folder. The next time you access your files,

Photo Explorer simply loads the thumbnails.

When you select a folder from the Folder

Tree, multimedia files are displayed as visual

thumbnails in the Browse Pane on the right

hand side of the Photo Explorer window. A

thumbnail is a small replica of the original

image file or an icon representing a specific

type of file. For videos and GIF animation

files, the first image in that file is used as the

thumbnail.

If you want to view detailed information of

your files, change to list viewing mode. Select

View: Thumbnail/List Mode to switch

between thumbnail and list viewing modes.
