This option copies the first selected file to the clipboard in the appropriate format for the file (bitmap for raster images or metafile for vector images).

If no files are selected, this menu option is grayed.

You can make this option the default (double-click) option from the General Options dialog box.

This option pastes the current clipboard contents to a ThumbsPlus View Window. If the clipboard is empty, or the contents are not in a recognized graphics format, this options is grayed.


	Edit \| Select All	Ctrl+A A

This option selects all files in the file list for processing by any of the commands which accept multiple files, such as view, properties or slide show.


	Edit \| Clear All	Shift+Ctrl+A A

This option deselects all selected files in the file list.


	Edit \| Select Mask	Ctrl+Shift+M M

This option prompts for a filename mask (i.e., "A*.GIF") and selects all files matching the mask. Any previous selection(s) are cleared.


	Edit \| Auto Clip Save	Ctrl+Shift+C C

This selection allows you to automatically save the clipboard contents to a disk file each time they change (and a compatible format -- bitmap or metafile -- is on the clipboard).

This is very useful for window or screen capture, too -- turn it on, and each time you press PrintScreen (for the entire screen) or Alt+PrintScreen (for the current window), ThumbsPlus will save the screen or window as a graphic file.

Automatic Clipboard Save Enable. Turns the automatic clipboard feature on.

Convert metailes. Converts metafiles to bitmaps before saving.

Image File save format. Select the format to save the files in. Note that metafiles are always saved as .WMF unless Convert Metafiles is selected.

Output Path. Select the folder where ThumbsPlus should store the files.

Prefix. Each file saved will begin with this prefix.

Seq #. This sequence number will be used for the next file saved, and incremented for each file.


	Edit \| Export Selected	Ctrl+F5 F5

This option creates bitmap files of all currently selected thumbnails. The files are 96 x 72 pixels, 8-bit color (236 colors used), and stored in Windows Bitmap (BMP) format with a .TNB extension and the same name as the original file. You will be prompted for a destination directory for the thumbnail files.

The files created with this option may be renamed or converted to other types. You can select the ".TNB" file type in the File Types dialog box as "equivalent to" BMP files so they may be viewed, renamed or converted in ThumbsPlus.
