Right-click options for thumbnails

While using the Remote File Explorer, you can right-click the thumbnails displayed in the files area on the right. A pop-up menu with the actions you can perform will be displayed. This menu varies for:

• documents, movie files

• images

• templates

If you right-click a document or a movie file, the pop-up menu will look like this:

The provided operations for documents and movie files are the following:

1. Rename - rename the current file. A window will pop-up and ask you for the new name:
   
   
                               

2. Duplicate - create a copy of the selected file in the same folder. It is automatically named Copy of InitialFilename. Use this option when you need more than one copy of the same file - for example, when you want to test some things regarding the file, and you do not want to risk affecting the original one.

3. Delete - remove the selected file from the remote disk. A window will pop-up asking for confirmation:
   
   
                               

4. Copy - copy the selected file to the clipboard. You can then paste it in a different location.

5. Cut - copy the selected file to the clipboard, and once you paste it somewhere else, the original file is removed from its location. The thumbnail will have a blurry look between the moment you selected the Cut option and the moment you paste the file:
   
   
                               

6. Paste - paste a file from the clipboard in the same location as the selected file. The option is enabled only when there is content stored in the clipboard.

Note: When multiple files are selected, the Rename option is not displayed.

If you right-click an image, the pop-up menu will look like this:

The provided operations for images are the following:

1. Rename

7. Edit Image - launch the KTML Image Editor window in order to modify the current image. Read more about the window that pops-up here.

8. Insert Thumbnail - insert a smaller version (thumbnail) of the current image in page. When selecting this option, a dialog box will pop-up:
   
   
                               

• Set the thumbnail dimensions (in pixels) by using the Width and Height text boxes, and the Keep Aspect Ratio checkbox (similar to the Constrain control) as explained here.

• Click the Apply button to insert the newly created thumbnail in page and close the dialog box. When you check the Remote File Explorer later on, you will notice a new image file in that folder. It is the thumbnail image and it is named InitialFilename_WidthValuexHeightValue.
  
  Note: The thumbnail inserted in page links to the original image on the remote server. This link cannot be edited in the Properties panel. When the thumbnail is clicked, it opens a pop-up window that displays the original image. The window has the image size and it closes on click.

• The Cancel button annuls the thumbnail inserting operation (and closes the dialog box).

9. Rotate Left - rotate the current image to the left with 90 degrees.

10. Rotate Right - rotate the current image to the right with 90 degrees.

11. Image Operations - this entry is a sub-menu that expands while hovering the mouse cursor over. It contains the following options:

• Resize Image - modify the image dimensions, server-side. When selecting this option, a dialog box will pop-up:
  
  
                              

• Set the new image dimensions by using the Width and Height text boxes, and the Keep Aspect Ratio checkbox (similar to the Constrain control) as explained here.

• Click Apply to modify the image server-side.

• Click Cancel to annul the resize operation.

• Increase Brightness

• Decrease Brightness

• Increase Contrast

• Decrease Contrast

• Compress - reduce the image size (in kb) by modifying its quality. When selecting this option, a dialog box will pop-up asking you to enter the final image quality (in percentages):
  
  
                              
  Note: Read more about these last five options here.

Note: When multiple images are selected, the Rename option is not displayed, and the Edit Image and Insert Thumbnail options are disabled.

If you right-click a template file, the pop-up menu will look like this:

The provided operations for template files are the following:

1. Rename

2. Duplicate

3. Delete

4. Copy

5. Cut

6. Paste
   
   Note: Read more about these options above.
            

7. Zoom In - check out the content template, since you cannot see much of it in the thumbnail image. When selecting this option, a window will pop-up displaying the whole content template:
   
   

Note: When multiple template files are selected, the Rename option is not displayed, and the Zoom In option is disabled.

As you noticed, the right-click contextual menu groups together options often needed. Use it whenever you want to save time with accessing certain commands.
