View as Icons
To see the gorgeous thumbnails for your photos, videos, and other documents that NeoFinder can create when you create a Catalog, you probably want to use the Icon View.
Select a Catalog, and let NeoFinder show you the files and folders as large icons by clicking on the first section of the view selector in the toolbar of the NeoFinder window.
NeoFinder will display large thumbnails, and also additional metadata, such as the file or folder name, GPS GeoTag, Rating, and more.
Underneath the thumbnails, you find a slider that allows you to tell NeoFinder how large you want to see your thumbnails.
There is also a menu at the bottom right part that allows you to sort the content by many of the fields that NeoFinder offers.
The Display Filter offers you a way to filter out unwanted items, such as XMP files, or those without a geotag or thumbnail.
View Options
The Icon View can be highly customised to suit your exact needs. If you open the View Options, using the menu command in the View menu, you will have all options.
Text size is the size that NeoFinder uses to show the file or folder name and the additional metadata underneath each thumbnail.
The next options control what additional metadata NeoFinder displays.
The option to "Mark available files and folders" will place a green checkmark next to the thumbnail of an item, if the file or folder is contained on a volume that is currently mounted on your Mac, and thus available immediately for drag&drop, or opening with other applications.
NeoFinder will automatically update this information when you mount or remove volumes.
