Window Menu

This menu is where you choose which parts of the Organizer you see. For instance, you can choose to show the Timeline (Browsing Through Photos) or to hide the Task pane here.

Hide Task Pane

If you want to have the entire Organizer window for viewing thumbnails, you can turn off the Task pane here, or just click its edge. (If the Task pane is hidden, this menu item reads "Show Task Pane" instead.)

Show Map

Choose this option to bring the Yahoo map into view. There's more about using Yahoo maps on Sharing Photos with Yahoo Maps.

Timeline

If you turn on the Timeline, you see each group of photos as a bar on a graph across the top of the Media Browser. The height of the bar indicates how many photos are in each group. The groups are arranged according to your choice in the pull-down menu at the top of the thumbnails area. Ctrl+L is the keyboard shortcut to toggle the Timeline on and off.

Properties

To see the Properties window for a photo, select the photo, and then choose this menu item or press Alt+Enter.

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
