The Navigator
Use the Navigator panel on the left to set what the Browser or the Filmstrip displays. You can show and hide the Navigator as needed. There are four ways to do this:
- By pressing F6.
- By clicking the thin strip at the left edge of the program.
- By clicking View | Navigator in the top menu.
By holding the mouse cursor at the left edge of the program. It is hidden again after the cursor moves away.
This panel is divided into these sections:
- Favorites – this section shows folders that you’ve added to your Favorites, so you can access them quickly. To add a folder to Favorites, drag and drop it from the Browser, or use its right-click menu.
- Catalog – this section shows the contents of the Catalog, with pictures organized by folder, date, keywords, or location.
- Zoner Photo Cloud – an online photo storage point. You can edit photos directly on Zoner Photo Cloud without needing to copy them to your local disk.
- Zonerama – this section shows any albums you’ve uploaded to the Zonerama web galleries.
- Cloud Storage – if you have file synchronization apps installed for the OneDrive, Google Disk, Dropbox, and/or iCloud services, then you can quickly access your local folders containing the synchronized files and work with these files directly inside the program. They are listed in the Navigator.
- Computer – this section (whose name can differ depending on your version of Windows) shows the complete folder hierarchy on your computer.
- Network – use this section to access other computers on your local network.
The button for launching the Import function is located at the bottom of the Navigator. Use Import to conveniently copy or move files straight from your camera or memory card onto your computer.
Double-click a section’s title bar to expand or collapse it.
When you switch folders by, for example, selecting one from Favorites, the Navigator does not automatically expand the subfolders in the folder tree. An “arrow” icon appears at the right end of the nearest selected item in such cases. Click this icon to expand the folder tree out to the target folder.
Zoner Photo Cloud
This is a new online personal storage service for photographs. Every user of Zoner Studio receives 20 GB for free, and more room for your data can be ordered using the shopping cart icon (50 GB for $4.99/month, 200 GB for $9.99/month, 500 GB for $14.99/month, 1 TB for $19.99/month).
next to the name of the main folder.
to remove a user you’ve added. To set the shared folder’s size, use the slider at the bottom of the window.
A shared folder’s minimum size depends on the overall size of the shared folders. Its maximum size depends on the overall space available in the user’s cloud, or on the maximum size set by the user (in the case of already shared folders).
Warning
Every Zoner Photo Cloud user needs an active Zoner Account and must be using the latest version of Zoner Studio. If a Zoner Photo Cloud folder is shared with a user who does not have an active Zoner Account, that user will not have access to shared data on Zoner Photo Cloud.
Shared Data
- All stored and shared data is the responsibility of the user who stored that data on Zoner Photo Cloud, and that user also bears responsibility for any damages caused by it;
- All users of a shared folder have the same access to files. Any user with which you share a folder has full access to that folder and can work with its files.
- When a file is deleted from a shared folder, it is sent to the Zoner Photo Cloud trash folder of the folder’s owner, no matter whether the file was deleted by the folder’s owner or by a user of the folder.
- Shared folders are counted into Zoner Photo Cloud’s overall capacity only for the user who is sharing that folder—not for users with whom the folder is shared.A user with whom a folder is shared can upload further data to that folder. That data is counted into the overall capacity available to the folder’s owner on Zoner Photo Cloud, and also into the capacity of the shared folder.
Deleted files are available in the trash to each user for 30 days after deletion.
To add Zoner Photo Cloud to the Catalog, go to Preferences | Catalog and click Add Photo Cloud. Once this has been done, you can work with its files the same as you would work with cataloged files on your disk.
Photos stored on the cloud can be edited in Develop. However, they cannot be exported from there to a bitmap format (the Export button on the in the right panel is grayed out).
All of this service’s data transfer is encrypted using SSL certificates and secured against eavesdropping. Users can only access the data using Zoner Studio.
Users with a license tied to a computer instead of an individual must first log in to Zoner Photo Cloud. (Login to Zoner Photo Cloud may, however, be disallowed by the local administrator.)
