View Menu
This menu lets you control how the Organizer presents your photos.
Refresh
If you need to make the Organizer redraw its screen, choose this menu item or press F5. You might want to do this if your recent edits don't appear in a photo's Organizer thumbnail, for example.
Media Types
Choose this item to bring up a window where you can decide what kinds of files the Organizer displays, or you can use the keyboard shortcuts. Your choices are photos (Ctrl+1), video files (Ctrl+2), audio files (Ctrl+3), projects (Ctrl+4), and PDF files (Ctrl+5). Just turn on the ones you want, and turn off the ones you don't.
Hidden Files
Use this option to see or hide all your files with the Hidden tag (People Recognition).
Details
When this setting is turned on (it usually is unless you've turned it off), you see info about your photos in the Media Browser window, like the date and the tag icons. Turn this setting off to see just the thumbnails with no other information. Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+D.
Show File Names
Turn this on to see your photos' names displayed below their thumbnails.
Show Grid Lines
Turn this on to see dividing lines between each thumbnail.
Show Borders Around Thumbnails
Although it's hard to see, Elements displays a very fine border around each thumbnail unless you turn off this setting.
