  <p>The <b>selection</b> can be changed using the keyboard and mouse the same as in a <a href="main_window_file_pane.html">file pane</a> of the main window.</p>

  <p><br />
  <br />
  </p>

  <h3>Status bar</h3>

  <p>The status bar displays the total number of images in the collection, and the number of selected images in parenthesis. A progress bar also displays whenever thumbnails are loading from disk.</p>

  <p><br />
  <br />
  </p>

  <h3>Drag and Drop</h3>

  <p>Drag and drop can be initialized with the primary or middle mouse buttons. Dragging an image that is selected will include all selected images in the drag. Dragging an image that is not selected will drag only that image.</p>

  <p>Dropping files and folders onto the 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>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>

  <p class="note">Note: When renaming or moving files within Geeqie, the contents of collections located in the folder ($HOME)/.geeqie/collections will automatically update to the new name or location.</p>
