Gallery View

This view gives a folder overview and large previews of images and documents when selected. The side menu allows you to get to the properties of images allowing you to adjust IPTC and XMP quickly.

Gallery mode has two layouts, the vertical mode has an option to collapse the side menu and keep the Preview.

Tip: You can save your view and sort options per folder for example; Your Camera roll in date order and in the Grid No Borders View, but you like your My Documents folder in list view in Name order. To enable this tap the View Options icon in the bottom toolbar then tap "More" and enable "Save Sort/View Per Folder"
