Official Tutorial
work area
The information panel (histogram, EXIF, folder, etc.) can be dragged from the main window of the program to the side (for example, to the second monitor) and made "floating". The panel can be opened/closed through the panel menu (or F2-F8 hotkey). The size of the exposure statistics and XMP data panel is fixed, but the size of other panels can be changed. The title of each panel has a setting button (gear icon,); When pressed, it displays a menu that allows the user to customize the panel. Any floating panel can be made translucent and placed above the image in the workspace.
![FastRawViewer (RAW viewing software)](https://img.xz7.com/d/file/2024/05-23/d594c81a933e6e6d01b6be4184b5abd3.png)
Set Preferences – Interface – Panels – Disable transparency for Panels outside of The main window (Preferences - Interface - Panel - Disable the transparency of the outer panel of the main window) will make the floating panel completely opaque when placed outside the main program window.

Other panel settings are personalized and are described in the "Information Panel Settings" section. The information panel can be closed (the "x" in the upper right corner of the panel or the corresponding item in the menu panel), and then re opened through the menu panel. The same menu has the option "Move all panels to dock", which will restore the standard layout of the program workspace.
Navigating files in a folder in grid mode
In grid mode, the main part of the window contains thumbnail previews of all supporting files in the current folder
![FastRawViewer (RAW viewing software)](https://img.xz7.com/d/file/2024/05-23/f87329557d36ead8e1b65121f8d9d697.png)
The following icons are located in the title bar of this panel (from left to right):
• Current folder
• The total number of files in the folder, the number of files passing the filter, and the number
Of the selected file.
• Settings that control the file preview display (see below).
Navigation in grid mode can be completed using the following methods:
• Keyboard: arrow keys PgUp/PgDn、Home/End; In addition, you can use keyboard shortcuts
You customized the next/previous file and the first/last file in the folder.
• Mouse: scroll the contents of the folder up and down with the scroll wheel.
• Menu: File – Go – Menu item (first/last, next/previous file).
You can customize the file preview using the Gear icon in the upper right corner of the Grid mode window:
![FastRawViewer (RAW viewing software)](https://img.xz7.com/d/file/2024/05-23/ab208affd7b4d54864062199fb7108bc.png)
The following data can be found below, above and above the image preview:
• EXIF data: shooting date, exposure parameter or camera name.
• XMP label (color) and XMP rating
• File name
The displayed data and the position of the data are controlled through the "gear icon", which are used for grid and film modes respectively.
For detailed instructions on the settings, see the "Customizing the Display Mode" section below.
When using very dark (nighttime) snapshots, setting Preferences - Thumbnail Cache - Apply Auto Brightening to Thumbnails may be useful because it turns on auto brightening of the preview.
Use a single file
In grid mode, you can perform the following operations on files:
• Switch to single file mode: Double click or Menu – View – Switch to single Image (menu - view - switch to a single image) or press Enter if the keyboard focus is on a window with a file preview.
• Rotate (Menu - Adjust - Rotate), the new direction data will be recorded in the XMP file (see below).
• Assign ratings/tags (menu – XMP metadata). If changed, ratings and tags will be recorded in the XMP file.
• Copy (Menu – File – Copy), Move (Menu – files – Move), Copy to _Rejected Files folder, which is designed for files that you may want to delete at a later stage (see below).
• Send files for processing in external programs (Menu – file – Pass filename to).
• In the system File Manager Display files in (Menu - File - Display in Browser/Display in Finder).
These same operations (except switching to single file mode) can be accessed by right clicking the active context menu:
![FastRawViewer (RAW viewing software)](https://img.xz7.com/d/file/2024/05-23/bcd4ce07062ba08f0201108db2faf590.png)
Copy and move individual files
The current (highlighted) file in the grid view can be copied to another folder using the menu – File – Copy File Name to – [Select Folder] (or press C). The dialog box for selecting the destination folder appears. After selecting the destination folder, the file will be copied.
![FastRawViewer (RAW viewing software)](https://img.xz7.com/d/file/2024/05-23/b5d5f7be6dd4cbaaf7c91e2bd85b14bf.png)
The name of the folder used for the copy operation is stored in the menu item under Menu - File - Copy... To – [Select folder]. The most recent replica destination is at the top of this list, followed by previously used folders. The list can contain up to five folders.
All folders in this list can be accessed through the keyboard (C, Shift-C, etc.), which allows you to easily copy to these destinations without accessing menus.
