IMAGEAXS PRO MACINTOSH USER’S GUIDE
To show more (or fewer) thumbnails, resize the Thumbnails View by
dragging the lower right corner of the window, or change the display
size of the thumbnail images (see “Changing Thumbnails View
Options” on page 3-9).
Use the scrollbar to move back and forth among thumbnail images,
or do either of the following:
• Select First Record, Previous Record, Next Record, or Last Record
from the Record menu.
• Use any of the arrow keys (←, →, ↓, or ↑) on your keyboard.
The sections that follow explain how to use the thumbnail image, file
type icon, and thumbnail caption to get information about a data
record and the source file it represents.
THUMBNAIL IMAGES
When you acquire (in other words, make a data record for) an image
file, ImageAXS Pro creates a smaller JPEG version of the image to be
displayed in the Thumbnails View. For movie or animated GIF files,
the thumbnail is created from the opening frame or image.
For digital sound files, a generic thumbnail is provided by ImageAXS
Pro. For non-multimedia files, ImageAXS Pro uses the Finder icon
for the file as a thumbnail, if possible.
If ImageAXS Pro is unable to create a thumbnail of any type (or if no
source file is attached to a record), a generic “No Image Available”
thumbnail is displayed.

OTE
Double-click the thumbnail image to open the Source File View for an image,
movie, sound, or 3D file, or to open a non-multimedia file in its original
program.
THUMBNAIL CAPTIONS
Each thumbnail image has a caption that represents the contents of
one of the fields in the data record. (The name of the source file is the
default choice.)
For information on how to select a different field to use as the caption
for thumbnail images, see “Changing Thumbnail Captions” on
page 3-12.
