<P>A collection window displays the contents of a collection. It
allows the collection to be modified and access to the images

<P>To open a new empty collection window press C or select New
collection from the file menu.</P>
<P>To open an existing collection, press O or select Open collection
from the file menu. A dialog will appear requesting the location of
the collection file. A window will the open containing the selected
collection. Recently opened or saved collections can also be opened
by selecting the collection's file name from the Open recent sub menu
of the file menu.</P>
<P>The collection window consists of a pane to display the contents
of the collection, and a status bar along the bottom of the window.</P>
<P><U>Icon pane</U></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">The icon pane displays images
contained in the collection as thumbnails in a grid, by default the
file names also appear below each thumbnail.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">The Icon pane works exactly like the
Icon view mode of the <A HREF="2_4_file_pane.html">file pane</A> in a
main window. But with the addition that the contents of the
collection can be organized with drag and drop.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">A <B>context menu</B> is available for
the icon pane by right clicking the mouse or pressing the Menu key.</P>

image that is not selected will drag only that image.</P>

collection window will add them to the collection, they will be
inserted at the location of the drop. A red arrow will indicate the
location of the drop as files are dragged over the collection window.
When one or more folders are included in the drop list, a menu will
appear to select how to handle the contents of the folders.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">To move images within the collection
to change their order, initiate a drag for the selected image(s) and
then move the mouse to the desired location within the window. A red
arrow will appear to assist in determining the destination of the
dragged images. Release the drag to move the images to the new
location in the list.</P>
