The following tutorial explains how to use the "View Tree" feature in Embird.
1 - Run Embird; it will start in "Manager" mode.
2 - In the "Folder:" box at the right side of the screen, choose the folder whose contents will be displayed in the tree (Picture No. 1). Embird will scan this folder and all its subfolders for files, also taking the "Filter:" setting into consideration.
3 - Click the "Right Panel > View Tree" menu to switch ON the display of the tree on the middle panel (Picture No. 1).
1. Select "Right Panel > View Tree" menu
4 - Embird will scan the folder, and after a while, the tree will appear on the screen (Picture No. 2). The advantage of displaying files in the tree is that you can see the contents of the folder and all its subfolders at once. If you are a registered user of the Iconizer plug-in and the "Right Panel > Preview Files" option is ON, the design icons will also appear in the tree, as shown in Picture No. 2 below. The "Print", "Export", and "Save as Text" buttons located below the tree allow you to print the tree or export it to a .BMP, .JPG, or .TXT file.
