Grouping files
If you have to browse a lot of images in the File List you should consider using Group By to
organize images into different groups. You may find it easier to find images when they are
organized into groups. For example, if you use more than one camera, you can quickly
organize your images according to the camera you used to capture the images. Similarly, if you
save your images into different file formats you can quickly organize your images according to
their file format.
Group By only works in the Thumbs, Thumbs + Details, Details, Tiles, and Icons
view modes.
To group files in the File List:
1. Browse to the folder or folders containing your files.
2. Do one of the following:
x Click View | Group By and select a group option.
x Click the Group By button on the File List pane toolbar and select a group option.
