Searching and Browsing Pictures and Videos
The Navigation Pane, shown as a separate panel on the left side of Windows Photo
Gallery, and the Quick Search box, shown in the top-right corner of Windows Photo
Gallery, provide quick access for organizing and displaying pictures and videos by
type, tags, date, ratings, and folders. As Figure 9-3 shows, the Navigation Pane
includes several top-level categories and subcategories. Selecting a category or sub-
category displays related pictures, videos, or both.
You can use the Navigation Pane categories as follows:
All Pictures and Videos
Under the All Pictures and Videos category are Pictures and Videos subcatego-
ries. These subcategories allow you to quickly return a list of all pictures or all
videos in folders that Windows Photo Gallery can use.
