The Images Dialog displays the list of open images on your screen; each of
them is represented with a thumbnail. This dialog is useful when you have
many overlapping images on your screen: thus, you can raise the wanted
image to foreground.
4.2.1. Activating the dialog
The “Images” dialog is a dockable dialog; see the section
Section 2.3, “Dialogs and Docking” for help on manipulating it.
You can access it:
In the menu, there is a list of
detached windows which exists
only if at least one dialog remains open. In this case, you can raise
the “Images” dialog from the image-menu:
→ .
4.2.2. Using the Images dialog
At the top of the dialog, a drop-list of open images appears if the
“Show Image Selection” option is checked in the Tab Menu.
At center, open images appear, as a list or a grid, according to the
selected mode. The current image is highlighted in list mode, outlined
in grid mode. With a double click on an image name, you raise this
image to the foreground of your screen. With a simple click you select
this image so that the buttons of the dialog can act on it.
