Thumbnail Tooltips

Thumbnail tooltips allow you to quickly preview the contents of folders, categories, collections, time-line nodes and stacks.

Availability

Thumbnail Tooltips (Thumb Tips) are available in the Media & Folders View, the Category View, the Collection View and the Timeline View. The File Window displays thumbnail tips for stacks and versions.

Configuration

You can enable and display thumbnail tooltips via the View > Thumbnail Tooltips menu command and the associated keyboard shortcut F9,T.

To configure thumbnail tooltip options, go to Edit > Preferences > Application: Thumbnail Tips.

Usage

Point the mouse cursor at a folder, category, collection or timeline node to display the thumbnail tooltip:

The Thumb Tip shows the 'first' 12 files in a folder and the folder description.

Stacks

To preview the contents of regular or version stacks in a File Window, point at the stack/version icon in the thumbnail panel:

This makes it very easy to see which files are hidden in a stack, even when the Stack Panel or Version Panel is not visible.
