Folder Colors
The color of the folders in the Folder List indicates whether or not there are thumbnailed files
in that folder. This can be used to help you quickly determine which folders contain images
and have been thumbnailed.
Note: This feature is only active if you are saving thumbnails. For more information
on thumbnail saving, see the thumbnail documentation.
|
When a folder contains images, and those images have been thumbnailed, the folder will be colorized.
Folders will not be colorized until thumbnails have been created in that folder.
|
|
If a folder does not contain thumbnailed images, but it's sub-folders do, the parent folder will be displayed using a unique style to let you know that it contains folders which contain images. |
Disabling Folder Colorization
You can turn off the folder colorization in the Folder List preferences, or
by right clicking in the Folder List.
