The list of items in the browser can display the items with different view styles, just like in Windows Explorer.
To change the view style, click a new view style on the View menu. You can also click the View button on the tool bar and then click a view style on the pop-up menu that appears.

Click Thumbnails to display the items as large thumbnails that contain a preview of the item. | |
|
Click Large Icons to display the items as a collection of large icons, where each icon shows the type of the item rather than a preview. | |
|
Click Small Icons to display the items as a collection of small icons. | |
|
Click List to display the items as a list of small icons. | |

Click Details to display the items in a list with columns that contain more information on each item, such as the date, author and comments. You can click on a column header to sort the items by the information in that column. Next to Thumbnails, this is probably the most useful view style. |
In Thumbnails view, the browser caches the thumbnails that it generates for parameter files, fractal files and formulas. These are stored in the preview cache that is also used for the preview window in the bottom-right corner of the browser. You can adjust the size of the preview cache in the Browser tab of the Options dialog. If you have many parameter sets that you view regularly, you might want to increase the cache size, although this uses more space on your hard disk. You can also turn off thumbnail caching for formulas to leave more space in the cache for parameter and fractal thumbnails which are more time-consuming to regenerate. |
