StudioLine Explorer image\ebd_Ebd178.gifimage\ebd_Ebd179.gif

The Explorer provides access to files on your computer and local network, as well as StudioLine-internal objects. For certain objects, a click with the right mouse button will preview the object or reveal a list of other actions that may be performed. Dragging an object to the trash can will delete it. Multiple Explorer windows may be opened simultaneously, allowing for drag and drop operations between windows.

Folder and Content Panes

StudioLine Explorer employs two panes. Use the folder pane to navigate, search, access, rename and delete folders.

The content pane shows the objects of the current folder in one of three distinct views:

My Desktop

“My Computer” displays files on local and network disks. To view desktop and network folders, press the “Up One Level” button as necessary.

“My Desktop” displays folders, files and system objects that appear on the Windows desktop.

Viewing Images or Slide Shows

Click the right mouse button on an image to open the context menu. Select Image Viewer to view a large scale picture or to configure a slide show for the current folder.

Adding Images to StudioLine

Double-click a graphics file or drag it onto the workspace to pre-process the image in accordance with the preference settings. Depending on the active StudioLine mode, the image is then added either to the current page, the Layout or the Image Archive.
