The "Tools" Menu

The Tools menu is available in all XnView modes.

Depending on the mode the menu items vary a little bit. Below, the menu items available in Image mode are described briefly (Detailed descriptions can be found in the section "Using XnView" of this help document).

• Search.. - lets you search for specific images including searches with placeholders (wildcards).

• Capture - capture an image of the current screen (snapshot).
