Uploading and viewing image files in Document Depot

Published March 9, 2007

In Document Depot you can upload and store all kinds of image files: photos, pictures, scanned versions of documents, etc.

For a convenient image file list display, Document Depot creates thumbnail for every uploaded image, a smaller version of its picture. Thumbnails are often used to organize photos in an album or large image files collections as they significantly simplify browsing. Document Depot gives you a choice of two ways to display thumbnails:

  • Thumbnail List – listing where list item is a thumbnail and its description; i.e. annotation or notes in reference to the image:

    Thumbnail List

  • Thumbnail Tile – listing where list item is a thumbnail only (including its name and size):

    Thumbnail Tile

In Document Depot thumbnails are created automatically for the following file types: JPEG, GIFF and PNG. Thumbnail creation is enabled in Document Depot by default. If you would like to turn off automatic thumbnail creation, it can be done in Document -> Service screen, by clicking on Thumbnail tab.

To view an image file in full size, just click on its name or an icon in the list. The new browser window will open up, where your file content will be displayed, if an application that supports file’s format is installed on your local computer.
