  Tree | Expand One Level +


This option expands the currently selected folder entry in the Folder List by showing any sub-folders. Double-clicking an expandable entry also performs this action.

If Indicate Expandable is checked, the folders for folders which have sub-folders are marked with a '+'.

If Indicate Thumbnails is checked, folders are color-coded to indicate the presence of thumbnails.

 


  Tree | Expand Branch *


This option expands the currently selected folder entry in the Folder List by showing any sub-folders. Any sub-folders are also expanded, thereby showing this "branch" of the tree in its entirety.

If Indicate Expandable is checked, the folders which have sub-folders are marked with a '+'.

If Indicate Thumbnails is checked, folders are color-coded to indicate the presence of thumbnails.

 


  Tree | Collapse Branch -


This option hides any subfolders of the currently selected entry. Double-clicking on an expanded entry also does this.

If Indicate Expandable is checked, the folders for folders which can be collapsed are marked with a '-'.

 


  Tree | Collapse All Ctrl+/
/


Hides all folders, leaving only the top level (drive and off-line volume) entries.

 


  Tree | Collapse to Path /


This option collapses all entries except those folders on the currently-selected path. For example, if the current folder is C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM, all entries for drives other than C are hidden, all first-level folders of C: are shown, and all sub-folders of WINDOWS are shown.

 


  Tree | Refresh Tree Ctrl++
+


This option rereads the folder tree. Use this option if you change the folder structure from another application. This option also collapses the tree to the current path (Tree | Collapse to Path).

 


  Tree | Indicate Expandable Ctrl+Shift+X
X


Checking this menu item causes ThumbsPlus to display a '+' in folder entries which contain sub-folders and may be expanded, or '-' in folder entires which are already expanded.

 


  Tree | Indicate Thumbnails Ctrl+Shift+I
I


Checking this option causes ThumbsPlus to use differently colored folders to indicate "interesting" folders. Folders for folders which contain thumbnails are colored green; folders for folders which do not themselves have thumbnails, but whose subordinate folders do, are colored blue. This option is really useful only after drive(s) have been scanned for images (see Scan Drive).

 


  Tree | List Thumb Dirs Only Ctrl+Shift+O
O


Select this option to only show folders which contain thumbnails. This is only useful once graphics files have been located (usually by Scan Drive).

 


  Tree | Show Offline Volumes Ctrl+Shift+V
V


Select this option to display disks which have been scanned but are not currently on an inserted disk. This will display each such volume as a small diskette, with the disk label next to it. For this option to operate properly, it is important that each diskette have a unique label. This options works for CDROMs as well as diskettes.

This option will also allow you to view folders and files which have thumbnails, but have been removed from the disk by a program other than ThumbsPlus. The folders for these folders, and the names for these files, will be grayed. If you do not intend to restore these files to the disk, you can use Thumbnail | Remove or Thumbnail | Remove Tree to remove the thumbnails from the database.

 


  Tree | Zip Files as Directories Windows 3.1 Note Registered Only Ctrl+Shift+Z


This option, available only in the registered release, causes ThumbsPlus to treat ZIP (PKZIP-compatible) files as folders. You can thumbnail, view, print, catalog and process files within ZIP files just as if they were in normal folders.

Note that ThumbsPlus currently only reads from the ZIP files. Update support is planned for a future release.

Because external programs require the actual path to a file, some operations do not work with files in ZIP files, including animation, OLE, and running external editors.
