Displaying Pictures Full Screen

A picture (or group of pictures) can be displayed full-screen by double-clicking on the thumbnail. You can also press the ENTER key to display the currently selected picture(s) in full-screen mode.

If you double-click on a single picture (or only have one selected when pressing the ENTER key), FotoAlbum will cycle between all pictures displayed in the current view. If you use the next and previous buttons, you can move between all the pictures that were displayed before double-clicking.

If you double-click when you have multiple pictures selected, the Full Screen Viewer will only cycle between the selected pictures. This allows complete control over what pictures are displayed.

Full Screen Toolbar:

Previous Button: Displays the previous picture. You can also use the UP or LEFT arrow keys.

Next Button: Displays the next picture in the list: You can also use the DOWN or RIGHT arrow keys.

Stop: This stops the automatic slide show. This has no effect if the slideshow is not running.

Start: This starts the automatic slide show. If started, the slide show will automatically cycle through the pictures using the delay set in preferences. You can control the next/previous while the slide show is running (up/down arrows).

Print: This allows you to print the current picture.

Button CloseClose: This closes the full screen viewer and returns to the prior view you were on. You can also use the ESCAPE key to close the window.

Minimize/Maximize: Toggles the Full Screen Viewer between a window and full screen.

Display size dropdown: Chooses the size to display the image. You can also use the mouse-wheel to quickly change zoom levels.

Rest of the toolbar (not shown): The full screen toolbar also displays additional information about the current picture including filename, picture dimensions, filesize, etc. You can toggle the display of the tool bar at any time by pressing the <CTRL><Z> shortcut.

Caption Bar (not shown): The caption bar displays the caption for the current picture. You can also click on the caption to change it. If you start changing it and want to stop, you can press the ESCAPE key. You can quickly enter multiple captions for pictures by pressing <CTRL><ENTER> instead of just <ENTER>. You can also use the Up and Down arrows when entering captions to quickly enter multiple captions.
