Toolbar

The toolbar at the top of the window has controls to add items, switch the view mode, change the sort order, set the thumbnail size, filter, and search. Toggle Inspector at the right end shows or hides the inspector. Before you buy Crabwise, Upgrade also appears.

Inspector

When you select one item, the inspector shows its name, notes, URL, rating, tags, collections, and file information. To edit them, see Add notes and ratings.
