                        Welcome to EOS Image Manager!                        
=============================================================================

- USING THE VIEWER
  . Select an image using the file browser on the left side of the window.
  . Both image files and folders can be selected.
  . Double-click an image name to edit it in place.
  . Right-click/control-click on a folder and select "Rename Folder" for renaming.
  . Select multiple images and choose the "Rename" option from the Tools menu to
    initiate the Bulk File Renaming feature.

  Additional Keyboard Shortcuts:
  . Press <Return> or <Enter> while a filename is selected to edit its name.
  . Press <Tab> or <Shift>+<Tab> to move Forward or Backward in edit mode.
  . Press <Home> or <End> to quickly reach the Top or Bottom of the file browser.

- USING THE SLIDE SHOW
  . Navigate to the directory containing the images you wish to include
    in the slide show using the file browser on the left side of the window.
  . Choose the "Start Slide Show" option from the Tools menu.
  . Type <Command>+<.> (the "Apple key" and ".") to stop the slide show at any time.

- USING THE FILE MANAGER
  . To use the file manager you must have at least one item selected in
    the file browser (on the left side), and a target folder selected
    (using the table checkboxes) in the File Manager tab.
  . Selecting a target (destination) folder:
    1) Use the file browser contained in the File Manager tab to navigate to
       the directory containing the folder you wish to move/copy images to.
    2) Click the checkbox in the first column of the file browser next to the
       folder you wish to selected for file operations.
    3) Choose the Move/Copy button (or menu/toolbar item) to operate on your
       selected item(s).

- USING THE THUMBNAILS
  . Images shown in the file browser can be thumbnailed via the application "Tools" menu or using the contextual-menu (right/control-click).
  . Once thumbnails have been created, 3 operations on them are possible via a contextual-menu: Move/Copy/Delete selected images.
  . Selections in the Thumbnails Tab will be synced automatically to the corresponding filename in the file browser.
  . The thumbnails being shown will also auto-update to reflect changes in the file browser, such as double-click file renaming.
  . If the "Rename..." function is used, the thumbnails being shown will be cleared (as of the 0.9 release).
  . TIP: Click-and-drag is the BEST way to select a group of thumbnails (i.e.: click on any thumbnail, then drag in any direction).


- ACCESSING EXTERNAL DEVICES (Removable Media, CD's, etc.)
  . External devices can be found in the "Volumes" folder at the base
    directory.
  . The base directory is the top level directory (just keep selecting "..")


- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
  . EOS Image Manager requires Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) or higher.
