The View Mode Toolbar allows you to quickly switch between various window layouts and viewing modes. From left to right, these icons will: |
|
| • | Toggle Full Screen Mode - Maximizes Bibble 5 and hides the top Window Title Bar. |
| • | Toggle Orientation - Switches between Landscape and Portrait layouts. |
| • | Image View Mode - Hides the Thumbnail Panel to make the Preview Panel as large as possible. |
| • | Standard Mode - Reveals both the Preview Panel and the Thumbnail Panel. |
| • | Thumbnail Mode - Hides the Preview Panel to allow quick browsing through many thumbnails. |

The Preview Panel in Bibble 5 can show one or more of the Selected Versions. When Multi-View is enabled, up to 6 Versions will be shown in Bibble 5 Pro, or up to 2 images in Bibble 5 Lite. Multi-View is a great tool to allow you to compare several versions from the same Master File, or to compare multiple master files with similar content.
Note: When Multi-View is enabled, many operations that normally operate on all selected versions change to operate only on the single Active Version, including functions like adding, deleting, and renaming versions, applying ratings, labels, and tags with the toolbar or hotkeys, and pasting of image settings.
You can resize any of the main panels in Bibble 5 by clicking and dragging on the border between the Panels. Resizing the Thumbnail Panel to fit only one thumbnail in height (when in Landscape mode) or one thumbnail in width (when in Portrait mode) switches the Thumbnail Panel from Grid view to Filmstrip view:
