The program options dialog is available under main menu item Settings... -> Options.

 

The General settings tab defines options for the basic functions.

 

 

 

 

ImageRanger can be configured to show only image/video files or it may also show all files, including documents, music, etc.

 

 

 

The destination folders are shown in the contextual menu when you right click on the file and select Copy to... (or Move to...).

Once the new destination folder is used, the entire list is updated and the oldest shortcut is replaced with a new one.

 

 

It is recommended to enable 'Show delete confirmation' in order to minimize number of mistakenly deleted files.

 

 

For users with multiple monitors this option when enabled allows to move certain windows freely, even to a different screen. This function can be useful for example if you want to have a bigger image preview area and bigger file infromation window on a separate screen.

 

 

Sidecar files (.xmp) are special files which store image metadata such as capture time and other capture settings separately from the image file.

ImageRanger also uses these files to store rating / keywords and other information for non-image files.

For example, it is possible to set a rating for a regular text file. In this case, the sidecar file is created and used to store the user assigned rating.

By default the sidecar files are not displayed.

 

 

Log file is useful when program crashes or stops working properly. Checking last records in the log file will help to understand the issue or find a corrupted file which causing a crash.

When enabled it is possible to find log files at the following locations:

MacOS:

/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Preferences/imageranger/imageranger.log

 

Windows:

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\ImageRanger\imageranger.log
