List Manager Functions

Personal Files
Personal Files are used to organize and store lists of images for presentations. Any number of Personal Files can be created. Use the File List popup menu in the message area at the bottom of the screen to select a different Personal File.

Presentation Lists
The user can create lists of images called Presentation Lists. Presentation Lists are used to organize images for exporting or printing. Presentations can be saved in The Netter Presenter in Presentation Lists (Presentation List is abbreviated to List in the user interface buttons). Presentation Lists can be retrieved into the List Manager and be viewed, edited, and modified as needed. Any number of Presentation Lists can be created and stored in a Personal File. Saving images within The Netter Presenter as Presentation Lists allows the images to be retrieved and modified for use at a later date.

Active File and List
Use the File and List popup menus in the message area at the bottom of the screen to select a Personal File or List or to change the Active File or List. When using List functions such as Add to List, Delete from List, Export List, or Print List, the function will be performed on the Active File and List.

Load a List into the List Manager Screen 
Use the List Manager Screen to review, edit, and manage Presentation Lists. Select a Personal File or a Presentation List by clicking File or List at the bottom of the screen and using the respective popup menu. Note The program contains a default Personal File and List. Both can be renamed at any time by clicking the Rename buttons under File Functions and List Functions, respectively. Thumbnails for the Active List will be displayed. Upon mouse-over, the thumbnail's unique description, figure number, and title will be displayed in the message area below. 

Assembling Images into Presentation Lists
Images are added to Presentation Lists by using the appropriate buttons on the Image Viewer Screen or the Image Search Screen. Images can also be duplicated, copied, deleted, and edited within a List by using the appropriate buttons on the List Manager Screen. 

Identifying Images Within an Active List
Positioning the mouse over a thumbnail will display its figure number, title, and any description given to the image. The information is displayed in the message field at the bottom of the screen. Since thumbnails do not show image customization, the use of descriptions is essential for identifying images in an Active List. Note Descriptions may only be added or edited in the Image Viewer. 

Reordering Images in an Active List
The List Manager allows the user to reorder images within a List. Simply move an image by clicking, holding, and dragging the thumbnail to a new location. A red selection bar will appear on the left side of the thumbnail to indicate the new insertion point. Note The unique description will help the user identify each thumbnail in a List.

Deleting Images from an Active List
To delete an image from a list in the List Manager, simply click the thumbnail and then the Delete from List button, removing the thumbnail from the Active List. Note The unique description will help the user identify each thumbnail in a List.

Duplicating Images in an Active List
To duplicate an image in the List Manager, simply click the thumbnail and then the Duplicate Image button, creating an exact duplicate of the customized image. The duplicated image will be placed immediately after the selected thumbnail in the Active List. Note The unique description will help the user identify each thumbnail in a List.

Copying Images to Another List
While in List Manager, the user may copy an image to another List. With an image selected in an Active List, click the Copy Image to... button to display a popup menu of Lists available in the active Personal File. Select a List, and an exact duplicate of the customized image will be copied to that List. The Active List will not change. Note The unique description will help the user identify each thumbnail in a List.

Editing Images in an Active List
Select an image and click the View/Edit button to bring the image into the Image Viewer window, where it can be customized. After modifications to the images are made, the user must click the Save to List button on the left panel in order to save or update the modifications to the image.

Export Images into a PowerPoint Presentation
This export feature allows you to export the contents of an image list directly as a PowerPoint (.ppt) file. After clicking on the "Export List Images into a PowerPoint Presentation" button, you will first see a prompt estimating how long it will take to export the files in the list. You may click "yes" to proceed with the export or "no" to discontinue it. Next, you will see a dialog box prompting you to select a location in which to save the new file. You may save it in a new or existing folder. The PowerPoint file that is created is automatically called "Presentation.ppt." The images are linked to the PowerPoint file and therefore must be kept together with their names unchanged in order for PowerPoint to open and run them properly.
