Adding items to the show
We find that the easiest way to add items to the show is to begin with the photos. We suggest you follow these simple steps.
- If you start windows explorer (press the windows key on your keyboard along with the letter E),
- Select the files you want to add. The easiest way is to hold down the control key, and click on each image you wish to add.
- Let go of the control key.
- Click on the first image, but don't let go. Then drag the images onto the area for images at the bottom of the program, and let go. The program will automatically add all the images.
Adding items you missed.
If you want to add an item to the middle of the list, click on the item before where the new item will go, and press the insert button on the keyboard. A new item will be created that shares the Artist Name, and year, but is otherwise blank.
Moving images around
To move an item that is in the wrong sequence, use the up and down buttons, or hold down the shift key, and press the up and down arrows to move an item while the list is selected.
Removing an item
To remove an item that is no longer required, press the delete button or, while the list is selected, press the delete key on the keyboard.
Setting a single image
To set a single image, you can either double click the image box, or drag and drop an image on. Be careful not to drag multiple images. If you do, it has the effect of replacing the existing image with the first image, and then inserting additional images. This may or may not be the desired effect.
