(Getting Started) CONFIGURE POP-UPS LIKE (TOOL-TIPS, NOVICE HINTS, FILE PROPERTIES & VCR BUTTONS)

Click here to show the Configuring Tool-Tips, Novice Hints, File Properties & VCR Buttons screen.

Let's say you've used the program for awhile and there comes a time that you want to disable the pop-up helps that appear from time to time. This screen allows you to enable or disable the various types of pop-ups.

HINT: If you want to quickly disable all pop-ups with the click of ONE button, click on the Disable/Re-enabled pop-ups button. This is a red round button located on the files list panel.

There are 5 types of pop-ups that this configuration screen can enable or disable:

Novice Hint Boxes: Click here to learn about Novice Hints

Slide-Show-Controls (VCR Buttons): These appear in the 4 corners of your image viewing area.

Tool-Tips: Tips that pop-up over buttons, checkboxes, pulldowns, sliders and other controls. Usually a sentence or two.

File Properties: These appear under thumbnails as you pass the mouse over the thumbnails list at the top. They can also appear to the left of the files list as you pass the mouse over the files list filenames on the right panel.

Folder Preview Properties: These appear next to the Folder Tree View window as you move the mouse over each folder's folder name..The preview can contain handy thumbnails and info about the number of files and disk space used in the folder.
