Specify media types to view
❖
In the Media Browser, choose View
> Media Types
> [type of file].
Note: After you import items, all media types appear in the Media Browser temporarily.
Sort files in the Media Browser
❖
Choose a sort option from the Media Browser Arrangement menu from the upper-right corner of the Media
Browser. You can choose from the following sort options in the thumbnail view:
Date (Newest First)
Shows the most recently taken or imported media files first. (Within a given day, the media files
are shown in the order they were taken, oldest first, unless otherwise specified in the General Preferences dialog box.)
Newest-first order is convenient when you need to attach tags to the media files, you imported most recently.
Date (Oldest First)
Shows all the media files in chronological order.
Album Order
Shows media files in the order in which you placed them in an album (available only when an album is
selected).
The Media Browser Arrangement menu sorts the thumbnails in chronological, reverse-chronological, or album order.
Resize, refresh, or hide thumbnails
You can change the size of thumbnails, or refresh them after editing the media files in another application. In addition,
you can quickly rotate the thumbnails so they appear correctly in the window.
