Using Contextual Menus
When you hold down the [control] key and click the mouse
button, a menu is displayed. This is a contextual menu.
In ImageBrowser, you can access many useful functions through
contextual menus.
For example, the following contextual menu appears when you
press and hold the [control] key and click an image in the
Browser Area of the Browser Window.
A contextual menu is, as its name implies, a menu whose
options vary according to the context. It is a collection of the
most commonly used buttons and commands that apply to a
given situation.Contextual menus allow you to use ImageBrowser more
efficiently. When you feel comfortable with ImageBrowser, try
using the contextual menus in different situations and you will
be impressed with their convenience.
