Updating Thumbnails

When you open a folder in the Browser, Paint Shop Pro creates thumbnails for all supported graphic images and stores them in a file called PspBrwse.jbf. Every folder you have opened in the Browser has a copy of this thumbnail file. Paint Shop Pro uses this file to dis­play thumbnails more quickly each time you open a folder.

The default preference setting is to have the thumbnails file update automatically every time you open the folder. To change this prefer­ence, see Browser Preferences.

Occasionally you may want to update the thumbnails with the Update Thumbnails command. For example, if you have used Win­dows Explorer to delete or add a file in a folder, you can choose File > Update Thumbnails, or press F5 to update the thumbnails file. (You can also open the folder again in the Browser for Paint Shop Pro to update it automatically.)

After a thumbnail file is created, new files are appended to the end of the thumbnails list. To sort the list alphabetically or by other charac­teristics, choose File > Sort.
