View Menu
This menu lets you control how your photos are presented in the Organizer. It also includes two very cool ways to look through a group of photos or compare photos.
Refresh
If you need to make the Organizer redraw its screen, choose this menu item or press F5.
Media Types
Choose this item to bring up a window where you can decide what kinds of media the Organizer displays. Your choices are photos, video, audio, Projects, and PDF files. Just turn on the ones you want and turn off the ones you don't.
Hidden Files
Use this option to see all your files with the Hidden tag (Working with tags and categories).
Details
When Details is turned on (it usually is unless you've turned it off), you see the information about your photos in the Photo Browser window, like the date and the tag icons. Toggle Details off to see just the thumbnails with no other information. Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+D.
Show File Names
Turn this on to see your photos' names displayed below their thumbnails.
Show Grid Lines
Turn this on to see the dividing lines between each thumbnail.
Show Borders Around Thumbnails
Although you may not really be able to see it, Elements displays a very fine border around each thumbnail, unless you turn this off.
Expand All Stacks
To see every photo in every stack, choose this menu item.
Collapse All Stacks
To return all your stacks to single photo view so you see only the top photo, choose this menu item.
