Thumbnails
When you select a folder for displaying thumbnail images, the program
makes small, scaled-down images of the documents of the selected folder.
These images may be dragged into the main window as a figure, page or
document.
You may also generate thumbnails of all image files on your local PC or
the entire network by accessing the Thumbnail Builder dialog box. If you
start the thumbnail builder before leaving your office in the evening,
several thousand thumbnails may be generated per hour.
To view another page of a multi page document in the thumbnail bar,
click the arrow icons as show below.
Thumbnail options are found by right clicking the thumbnail window. You
can open files, get file information, delete and rename files.
Thumbnails can also be arranged by size, type and date. Thumbnails can
be displayed in three different sizes depending on your preferences.
Several advanced options can be found in the ‘properties’ menu.
A thumbnail can also be expanded to show all pages of the document. In
addition, the Thumbnail window supports full
ThumbTip technology.
 Building
thumbnails
By using the ‘thumbnail builder’ found by right clicking the Thumbnail
window, the program can automatically search all drives in your system
for image files and generate thumbnails. This is best done overnight,
since a system may contain several thousand, even millions of image
files and documents. The thumbnail process may also be scheduled to
start at specified times during the night.
The Drag-drop dialog is displayed each time a thumbnail is double
clicked or dragged into an active document. Holding down the Shift key
during Drag-drop or double click inserts the file as a page, while the
Ctrl key inserts the file as a figure. The Drag-drop dialog is not
displayed when the hotkey for page or figure insertion is used.
Full multiple thumbnail drag and drop
To select more than one thumbnail for display or page composition, use
standard Windows methods. To select a sequence of files, click on the
first file, hold down the SHIFT key and click the last file in the
sequence. Non-sequential files can be selected by holding down the CTRL
key while selecting. You may also select files by enclosing their
thumbnails inside a rectangle marked out with the mouse.
Dragging files from the
Thumbnail Window into the Document Tree for
document composition is an easy way to make or modify multi page
documents. You can read more about the powerful page editing functions
