movies. It also includes a thumbnail viewer and other functions for easy management
of your movies and snapshots.

Refreshing a Thumbnail Index
Any time you select a folder on the Index screen Picture & Video Player automati-
cally displays thumbnails of all the image files (snapshots and movies) contained
in that folder. However, the contents of the Index screen are not updated auto-
matically when you add or delete image files (using File Explorer or standard
computer operations) in the currently selected folder. Because of this, you should
perform the following thumbnail index refresh operation whenever you need to
update the Index screen so it reflects any changes you have made to the contents
of the folder.
To refresh a thumbnail index
While the thumbnail index you want to refresh is on the screen, tap the Tools
menu and then tap Refresh Thumbnails.
///// Note/////
Performing the above operation generates thumbnails for all the files, both snap-
shots and movies, in the currently selected folder.

tained in a particular folder.
