The Gallery Window
Once you have selected a source of picture files in the Startup window the Galley window appears displaying the contents of your chosen source. To the left of the thumbnails is a list of the files contained in the source folder or album. If a folder contains any nested folders you can view their contents by double-clicking the folder in the list. Above the list are 4 buttons. The blue book icon represents your albums. Clicking this icon lists any Photologist albums you may have created. The folder with a picture on it represents your Pictures folder. Clicking this icon lists the contents of your Pictures folder. Clicking the button with the folder and a camera on it allows you to choose any folder containing images that you would like to have displayed. The pen button allows you to change the name of any file or folder that is highlighted in the list. To rename albums use the Album Manager.

At the top of the Callery window, above the thumbnails, is the Gallery window's toolbar. It has 12 buttons. Their functions (from left to right) are as follows:


- The Slides Button: start and stop a slideshow
- The Picture Button: displays a selected picture in a resizable viewer window
- The Star and Circle Button: presents a menu from which to choose a picture outline shape
- The Color Wheel Button: brings up the color picker for choosing a picture background color
- The Directional Arrows Button: opens the picture flip and rotate window
- The Spyglass Button: allows finding pictures by names or comments
- The Aqua Swirl Button: creates a screen saver from the currently displayed pictures
- The Desktop Button: displays the currently selected picture as the desktop picture
- The Rocket Button: opens selected picture(s)
- The Speech Bubble Button: add/edit picture comments
- The Circle "i" Button: shows picture information
- The Slash Circle Button: deletes selected pictures (moves them to the trash)

TIP: Double-clicking a thumbnail opens the picture in the default picture editor, if one as been specified in the Preferences, or, if no default picture editor has been specified, in Preview.
