Opening a File in a New Window

Smart Pix Manager allows you to launch your current file into a new window by selecting View>Open in new window button or pressing 'Ctrl+N'.  By using new windows you can have multiple files displayed at once and do not need to reload a file if you return to it later.

You can also drag files from the main window and drop them on a secondary window for display.

New file windows support most viewing functions of the main window except stretch to fit.  They do not support file management functions such as move, delete, etc.
