Working with folders
and files
Photo Explorer does more than just organize folders and files in your computer. Archiving files into
zip folders and reading contents of zip folders can be directly done in Photo Explorer. What's more,
images and media files contained in CDs can be cataloged for faster and convenient browsing.
The Folder Pane
The
Folder Pane
, found on the left-hand side of the Photo Explorer window, is where you access
disk drives and manage folders in your computer. In addition, the Folder Pane provides tabs that
allow you to switch between different folder views, search for files, and view digital camera (Exif )
information.
