| Image Browser

iFuntastic creates thumbnails for preview for most images it encounters. When you build the Image Cache, not only are all images backed up to disk, but thumbnails are created. Similarly when you select 'Update Thumbnails' from the options menu in a file manager list. This results in a lot of thumbnails (a few thousand right after installation of iFuntastic Support.)
The image browser makes good use of all those thumbnails - it displays all of them in a compact way to let you quickly find (and edit) images of interest.
Page Menu
To make the large amount of images manageable, they are broken up into pages. Depending on the muscle of your computer, size of your display and requirements for responsiveness, you can set the number of images per page in the 'Page' menu.
Sort Menu
The 'Sort By' menu lets you sort the images by various criteria.
Note that the 'modification date' sort applies to the modification date of the thumbnail not the image itself. Thumbnails are updated whenever you preview an image in a file manager list or when you save an edited one, so it can be considered a rough 'most recently interested in this image' sort.
The Mousing Crisis that Isn't
Mousing over the list of images displays the dimensions and path to the image.
Click to select an image, shift- or command-click to select or deselect images.
Drag an individual image (or the current selection) into any place in iFuntastic that accepts images or copy them to disk by dragging them into a file manager disk listing.
Double-click an image to edit it in the Image Editor or drag it into the editor to replace or add an image layer.
Rebuild
The 'Rebuild' button re-scans the list of thumbnails. If you rebuilt the image cache or updated thumbnails in previously unvisited (or changed) folders, then you should click this button.
Filter
The filter menu provides some pre-set filter strings. You can enter your own in the edit field next to it. Enter a string and hit the 'return' or 'enter' key or check the 'Apply' checkbox. iFuntastic will display all images whose path on the phone or disk contains the string. So if you filter for 'Calculator.app' all images in the calculator are displayed. Try 'emoji'... For more sophisticated filter strings - by image dimensions, for example - please see Searching & Filtering in the File Manager documentation.
