Customizing Your Workspace in Paint Shop Pro X - Part Two

The Image Browser

You can open image files either with File > Open or by using the Image Browser. Using the File menu (or Open button) will open the standard Windows Open dialog box. Using the PSP Browser not only provides thumbnail previews of all your image files, it also has command buttons for viewing, sorting and printing your images. Right clicking a thumbnail gives you a popup menu to rename, move to another folder and other actions.

To set your preferences for the Browser palette: Select File > Preferences > General Program Preferences. Select Browser Palette from the list on left. Your Browser display options are shown. There are also a few options under View > Customize.

To choose the way you prefer thumbnails to be sorted:Right click in an open space in the Browser palette (a blank area between folders or thumbnails), select Sort from the popup menu. Choose your preferences from the Sorting dialog.
