In your browser, you can create groups of thumbnail previews in which a series of associated images are represented by one thumbnail.

Grouping Thumbnails

First, select at least two thumbnail preview images in the Browser. Now you have three ways to take the images in a group.

Option-1

Click with the right mouse button on one of the thumbnails. It opens a context menu as shown in the screenshot below.

Click Grouping and then in the sub-menu click Group. The selected images are now grouped together and represented by the thumbnail image you clicked to run the command.

Option-2

If you select two or more images and then move the mouse over the top right corner of the thumbnail previews, a small clickable Group Selected Items icon appears.

The picture you run the command on becomes the thumbnail preview image of the group.

Option-3

Select two or more images and then press Ctrl + G to group them together.

All four images are now grouped together and the number of items in the group appears in the top right corner of the thumbnail.

Collapse and expand a group
