You can view images in your File Browser by Ranks or by Different Thumb Sizes. Lets see how we change the different views, how we can view images within a folder. To do so there are a couple of different ways. Go to the bottom of the File browser you will see ‘Large with Rank’, its the default value set for the File Browser. As shown in below picture.
Clicking on it will show you a Menu as shown in the left figure. Select Small from the Menu. This will give a small view of all the images. If you have a lot of images in a folder then its a good of viewing them all. The Snapshot of the File Browser with small view is shown in the below Figure.
The Next option we choose is Medium, This will produce the Image Name Underneath and the image Above. As Shown in the Below Figure.
You will notice that the Images that have longer Names does not display complete name. Just click on the file name and it will display complete file name as shown in the below picture.
You can also change the name of the file in the text box which displays the full name of the File.
The Next view is ‘Large’, Select it and see the Results. The Thumbnails will displayed of large resolution.
The Next View is ‘Large With Rank’ We will cover this one in just one moment.
The Next View is ‘Details’, Select this one. Now the details mode allows me to see not only the image, not only the image name, but the type of the image, you can see the rank of it, date modified, date created, Copyright notice, the size of the File, and the image dimensions, its pretty nice I think. Viewing in this mode may be cutting off some of the details from the screen if you have a Small Resolution Monitor. Just Click on the ‘Toggle Expanded View’ at the bottom of the File Browser, and it will Hide the left menus and displays the Viewing Window only as shown in below figures.
The Toggle Option is very useful, consider if you have more than 200 Photos in a single folder, then this tool will help you get more space to show more thumbnails, or complete details of photos. Go ahead and pick other viewing options like ‘large’, ‘Small’ and see how much extra space you get.
And now lets get around to Ranking. Ranking is a Very important feature. Switch to the ‘Large with Rank’ View. You will get a screen as shown in the below figure.
Now you will see Title Rank under the file name of the image. Now see that the Rank of all your images is ‘-’ . This means that your image does not have any rank assigned to it. To assign a Rank right click on any image in the File Browser. You will at the end of the menu RANK A - E. This means you can rank from A up to E. Snapshot of the menu is shown in the below figure.
Ranking is the way to arrange the images. Right now they are arranged by File Name, means they are arranged by alphabetical order as shown in below figure.
Click on the button which says ‘File Name’ red outlined in above image. The menu is shown in the below figure.
Now you can arrange them images by selecting any of the option from the menu (shown above). You can arrange by width, height, File Size, Resolution, File Type (Similar type of files are grouped together), Color profile, Date Created, Date Modified and by Copyright. At the bottom of the menu there is an option of ‘Ascending Order’ its currently checked, If you uncheck it then images will be arranged by descending order regarding to the file name.
Now assign the different Ranks to the Images in the folder you have opened in The File Browser by right clicking the image and choosing Ranks from the menu. You can also assign a rank by click on ‘-’ sign in front of the Title ‘Rank’, it will give you an option to type, you can type from any Character from A-E.
Now when you are done assigning the Ranks, now go to the Same menu of ‘File Name’ Which is shown in the above picture, and choose ‘RANK’ from the menu. Now you will notice that all the images are arranged by Rank and then by File Name, as shown in the below figure.
