Pan View

This window offers alternative views of the current directory and its children .

It may be opened by View ▸ Pan view ( Ctrl+J ) . You can pan the view as you pan an image in normal view mode, using left mouse button and drag.

A primary mouse button click on any image will display information about the image. Secondary mouse button will show a context menu.

The Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts available are listed in the Reference section.

Pan view recursively visits each folder under the specified folder. This can consume considerable computer resources.
