In this lesson we're going to work more with files and folders in the organizer in Paint Shop Pro. Let's turn on the organizer by selecting palettes and choosing organizer. Again on the left hand side are the folders and tags and saved searches that you can quickly access by clicking on them. You'll notice "This Lesson" which is the default folder that I've created to use in this tutorial, which would contain my photos and images that I'm going to show in each lesson, is empty. Let's go out to the desktop and see that I've got two folders called sample one, sample two with different images in each one. This is an important concept. This folder tree only contains folders and monitors those folders that you decide by selecting add more folders. You can remove folders by right clicking on the folder and choosing remove from list. That way the "My Snapfire Shows" folder would then not be monitored. The monitored folder means that every time I put a picture in that folder it will automatically be identified in the organizer. You can also rename folders and reveal in explorer. If I choose reveal in explorer a Windows explorer window opens up with that folder. So let's see what happens. If we go out to sample one, I'm going to copy by right clicking and dragging and choosing copy here. I'm going to copy one picture into "This Lesson". Now it doesn't show up immediately, you generally have to click in another folder and then come back, and then boom the picture appears. I'm going to click on it and press delete. Do I want to send it to the recycle bin? Yes. Now what we can also do is add those folders. Let's add sample one and all the pictures from sample one are included in the organizer. Let's go ahead and add sample two. You'll notice that they're added together. So we have sample one, sample two in the organizer all at the same time. Now the files are still separately in different folders. We can just click those quite easily in the organizer. Alright. If you want to remove that folder, right click, choose remove from the list. Now I've removed sample two, you'll notice that it's still here on my desktop. Nothing actually happened to that folder. And we can get it back again if we want. That's different than deleting the folder. Alright. We're going to work with some files a little bit now and change the sorting criteria that is going to be used in each folder. So here we've got a list of pictures, we're going to sort by date taken from newest to oldest, and you can see the date here at the top which then scrolls with each range of pictures. So I've included some old ones and some new ones, all the way back to April of 2006. Now we're going to sort by the oldest. Now we're sorting by oldest here in sample two, let's go to sample one, you'll notice the same sorting criteria is applied to all folders. Sort by file size, go to sample two and it's the same. You'll notice that you can sort by rating. Currently I have not rated any picture. But to rate it I can select it, choose image information, and then assign a star rating to this picture by pressing on those gold stars. So this picture now has three stars. And when I accept that or apply it by clicking this checkmark, now you can see that shows up in the organizer and when I sort by rating it's going to go from the highest number of stars to the lowest. Alright we're going to explore the right clicking options very quickly. If I select an image and right click, I can open it in the Corel Paint Shop Pro editing, I can also print it, email it, delete it, rename it, I can select all photos in this folder, I can rotate the picture, adjust the date it was taken, add it to a photo tray, view the info which is the same as clicking the button, refresh the entire list, and access the preferences. Alright it's basically pretty easy to work around in the organizer. Just remember you've got folders on the left which you manage to identify the pictures in the folders that you want to monitor, you've got the pictures themselves which you can sort, access information, perform rudimentary editing operations, drag them up to Paint Shop Pro to open and basically keep your photos organized and collectively so you can sort them and search on them here with these folders.
