Documentation - Play List

You will need this window to open several files, create play lists and slide shows. Here you can conveniently sort, reorder and organize files.

Click on the window parts to get detailed description.

The following visual controls are provided in the File List window:

[1] Preferences - Opens centralized preferences window on Play List page. There you can configure different parameters like: Repeat, Shuffle, Sort, etc.

[2] Select - Pressing the button performs "Select All" operation. More options are in the drop-down menu:

Clear Selected - Removes selected files from the list.
Clear All - Removes all files from the list.
Invert selection - Invert selection.
Select All - Select all.
Sort by:

Name - Default sort using file name.
Type - File image format e.g. JPEG, TIFF...
Size - Disk file size.
Date/Time - Disk file date/time.
Numbers in File Name - Unique sorting option: sorts images by using only numbers from file names completely ignoring text. Furthermore this option will correctly sort numbers like 2 and 11. e.g. [1] a11.jpg [2] bbb2.jpg -> [1] bbb2.jpg [2] a11.jpg.
Smart Sort - Another unique sorting option: somewhat similar to previous one except it breaks file names in blocks of text and numbers applying appropriate sorting to them, which will remove the problem of sorting like strings numbers as 2 and 11. e.g. [1] a11.jpg [2] a2.jpg -> [1] a2.jpg [2] a11.jpg
