What do the various settings in the Options dialog do?

• Display Size
  
  Full Screen - Uses as much of your monitor as possible to display images. If this setting is off, then displays images inside an IE window.
  
  
• Image Scaling
  
  Enlarge Small Images - Smaller images are enlarged so that they will take up the maximum amount of the screen.
  Note: "+" and "-" key changes this setting while you are viewing images.
  
  
• File Information
  
  None - All file information is turned off.
  Short File Name - Just the name of the file is displayed. (e.g. "logo.gif")
  Full File Information - The full file path name is displayed as well as the file size. (e.g. "C:\images\logo.gif 12.1k")
  Note: "/" key changes this setting while you are viewing images.
  
  
• Image Selection
  
  All Sub-Folders - Display images in the folder you selected and scan for image in all its sub-folders; otherwise, displays only images in the folder you selected.
  
  
• Auto Advance Images
  
  Timer - Advances to the next image after the seconds specified.
  Note: "\ " (backslash) key changes this setting while you are viewing images.
  
  
• Slide Show Order
  
  Same as Folder Order - Images are displayed in alphabetical order.
  Randomize All Images - All images will appear in a mixed up order.
  Randomize Sub-Folders - When sub-folders are being displayed, the order in which the sub-folders are mixed up, while the images within the folder is kept alphabetical. This option only makes sense with the "All Sub Folders" option selected.
  
  

What are the security issues with VistaPerfect?
VistaPerfect uses an ActiveX control to scan for images on your local hard drive. Like all ActiveX controls, it can be accessed by web pages you may be visiting on the internet; however, VistaPerfect operates only on image files.

While steps have been taken to limit any risk of abuse, I did not want to sacrifice too much functionality. For example, VistaPerfect can delete local image files using the Backspace key; however, it always presents a confirm dialog first and only operates on image files. Any web page trying to do use VistaPerfect's ActiveX control to delete an image file would be caught by the user as soon as the "Delete Confirm" alert was displayed.

How can I refresh the files displayed?
From time to time, you may want to leave VistaPerfect running and go into a folder and move a bunch of images around. VistaPerfect can refresh it's content if you hit F5 while in the image display window.

Can VistaPerfect display multiple windows?
You can have multiple display windows open; however, VistaPerfect must have the "Full Screen" option off (see Options dialog). Simply click on the SlideShow button more than once.

Is there anyway to move images from one folder/directory to another?
Since VistaPerfect uses IE to display images, you can use drag and drop to copy images. This technique will only work when you are displaying images in a window (versus in full screen mode). Simply open the target folder in Explorer and leave the folder's window open. Slide show images with the "Full Screen" option off (see Options dialog). When you find an image you want to copy, drag and drop it to the folder's window.
