Folder-Picker

You can reach the Folder-Picker via

• the "folder symbol" or menu "Folder Filter" in the Gallery-View
• the menu "Copy" or "Move" in the Gallery-View in multiselection mode
• the "folder picker" and the "date picker" in the Filter-View

In the top area is the "path bar" : a list of button where each button represent a folder in the current path.

Below you find a list of folders and sub-folders.

In the button area you have buttons OK, Cancel and a preview image

Features:

• The numers in the names indicates how many folders/photos belong to the item. Example "AgiosNicolaus (2):(33+15)" has the following meaning:
  • "(2)" The folder "AgiosNicolaus" has 2 subfolders with images
  • ":(33+15)" The folder "AgiosNicolaus" contains 33 photos and subfolders of it contain +15 photos.
• If you tap on a (sub)folder in the list or a button in the path bar
  • the current folder path is updated
  • the folder picker navigates to that path
  • and a photo belonging to the folder is displayed in the lower right corner.
