1. IMAGE VIEWER FUNCTIONS 

1.1 Displaying Thumbnails 

In the thumbnail view mode (  ), the JPEG File Explorer extracts miniatures from the supported image files in the current directory. This 
process is done "in the background"; that means that you can go on working with the program while the thumbnails are built. From JPEG files 
the program can extract a thumbnail without decompressing the complete file. Because this kind of extraction is a rather speedy, the thumbnails 
need not to be stored in a database. 
The thumbnail size can be selected in the "View|Thumbnail size" menu. 
Consult the options dialog  (Edit|Options) if you still want to speed up the extraction of thumbnails. 
 

1.2 Showing the Image at Full Size (  ) 

Double-click a thumbnail to view the image at it's original size. By right-clicking into the view window you get a context menu with some options. 

1.3 Slideshow Function (  ) 

When you have opened a view window, select "Start Slideshow" to view all selected images in a slideshow. When there is only one file selected, 
all files in the directory are shown. Each image will be displayed for 10 seconds. By (left-)clicking into the view window you can stop/continue the 
show or go to the next or previous image. Ths display interval can be adjusted in the options dialog. 
Click "Stop Slideshow" in the context menu to stop the show. 

1.4 Displaying Image Properties 

Select a file and right-click to access the context menu, then click on "Properties" to get a dialog which shows the image file properties. 

2. FILE MANAGER FUNCTIONS 

2.1 File operations 

The JPEG File Explorer calls the Windows shell to execute file operations. The delete function uses the recycle bin so that you can restore 
deleted files. (NOTE: Not on all drives exists a recycle bin.) 
You can copy, move, delete or rename selected files by using the command of the file menu. 
You also can drag-and-drop files from and to the Windows Explorer and to any other application that supports drag-and-drop. 
Directories can be renamed and deleted by using the context menu of the directory tree view. 
When other applications create or delete image files in the JPEG File Explorer's current directory, the file list will be updated automatically. 

2.2 Copy/Paste files via the clipboard 

It is also possible to use the edit menu for copying files: click "Copy" to copy the names of the selected files to the clipboard. Then you can use 
the Explorer's (or the JPEG File Explorer's) Edit|Paste menu item to paste the files into an other directory. 

2.3 Handling graphical clipboard contents 

Graphical Clipboard contents can be saved as a Windows Bitmap File by using the "Edit|Paste image...." command. The "Copy Image Content" 
menu item copies the graphical content of the focused image file to the clipboard.
