fcontent[1]="You can easily extend your ThumbsPlus network access to Linux and MacOS users by using the NEW ThumbsPlus WebClient!<br><br>Click <A href='tpwcs.shtml'><b>here</b></A> for more info."

fcontent[5]="There is a Compare Image feature that shows the computed similarity between two images. This is most useful for seeing how much lossy compression affected an image. The following values are computed: Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and an approximated Wang & Bovik quality index. Also shown are the number of identical and different pixels."
fcontent[6]="When a selection is active in a view window, pressing Delete (or Edit | Delete) will replace the selected area with the current view window background color.  Ctrl+Delete is the keystroke to delete a file.  There is also an option in Options | Viewing | Other to enable file deletion (via the Delete key) when there is no selected area."
fcontent[7]="Any image operation that does not change the image size (i.e., filter, color adjust, color balance, cut/paste) can now be faded.  The image is combined with the Undo image at a user-entered opacity level.  Undo must be enabled (Options | Viewing | Other) for this feature to be available."

fcontent[9]="Make regular backups of your ThumbsPlus database if you want to make sure your information is not lost. All the thumbnails, keywords, annotations and user fields you create, and all the galleries you design and populate, are kept in a single database file, the thumbs.td4 file by default."
fcontent[10]="For the Slide Show feature, the F8 key will start a show based on the first selected image in a thumbnail view. Alt+F8 will bring up the slide show settings dialog box for any modifications to the settings, then begin running the slide show when the dialog box is closed by clicking on the OK button. The slide show does not run if you click the Cancel button."
fcontent[11]="From slide show, press [alt,] to place the displayed image in a gallery named [tagged images]. This makes it easy to select photos for later use. You can then rename the gallery when you are finished."
fcontent[12]="Make a numeric user field named [points] and place it on top of the user field list. Scroll through the photos in View Mode. Press Ctrl-U, and type a number between 9 and 0 (9 for beautiful photo, 0 for bad photo) Then, sort the thumbnails based on the user field [points], descending, and the best photos are on top."
fcontent[13]="You can refresh a found list by right-clicking on its name in the folder tree and selecting Requery Now from the popup menu."
fcontent[14]="Synchronized view windows are perfect for comparing similar images. You can view multiple images synchronized by selecting them, then using File | View Synched. You can synchronize already-open view windows using View | Synch Views."
