Another great feature of Paint Shop Pro is the Browser. You can click on the Browse button located in the Open dialog box to browse any directory which contains image files. (You can also access the Browser from the File menu.)
The Browser will create thumbnail representations of the images located on your hard drive. When you click the Browse button, you will see two windows. The window on the left will show a Explorer-type tree which lists the folders on your hard drive. The window on the right will show thumbnail representations of the images located in each folder.

To open an image into Paint Shop Pro from the Browser, simply double click on the thumbnail, or click and drag the thumbnail to the Paint Shop Pro workspace.[pP]>nero dvd-video plag-in
