Using Other My Camera Settings

You can obtain or make My Camera Settings files other than those provided with ZoomBrowser EX by the following methods.
■ Using My Camera Maker to Create Settings Files
You can use My Camera Settings files that you create with the supplied program, My Camera Maker. Files created with this program automatically display in the My Camera window. The program features are explained in “Using My Camera Maker” in Chapter 6.
■ Using Other Software to Create Settings Files

What Does It Mean to Refresh a Folder

Adding, moving, copying or editing an image or a folder within ZoomBrowser EX ensures that it is updated and appears correctly in the Browsing Area.
However, the information ZoomBrowser EX possesses and the actual file contents can be different when an image file is moved or copied using Windows functions or edited with a separate program. In this case, the “current state of the folders” has to be checked and updated. This is what is meant by refreshing a folder.
Click the [View] menu and select [Refresh Current Folder]. This will update ZoomBrowser EX’s information about all the folders.
