Favorites Mode

Favorites Mode is for viewing files that you have tagged during this Smart Pix Manager session or from a Favorite collection that you have loaded.

The Favorites tab contains the following items:

FAVORITES LIST:

This displays the current Favorites list, if you have not loaded a Favorites List then it shows <default> meaning that it only contains files that you have added in this Smart Pix Manager session. If you click on the down arrow on the right a list of all your recent Favorites lists will be displayed, you can load a Favorites list by selecting it.

Click the Save button for a list of Favorites List file functions:

Save Favorites List

This will save the current Favorites List to disk, if it is the <default> file you will be prompted for a file name. Using 'Save File' is usually unnecessary, as Smart Pix Manager will prompt you to save the current Favorites List when closing (Note: you are not prompted to save the <default> file)

Save Favorites List As..

This allows you to save the current Favorites List with a new name; i.e. you might want to save a collection of favorite pictures for showing to a friend later.
