HOW TO USE

Add a folder

First, you can add a folder by clicking the "Add Folder" button on the left side. Then, all you have to do is select the folder whose photos you want to see, then validate the dialog box.

!! WARNING !! If the folder doesn't contain a photo, then it will not appear. And you will not be able to perform any action on it.

Once you have selected your folder, you can click on it:

• If you click 1 time, then all the photos contained in the folder AND in its sub-folders will appear.
• If you click twice, then only the photos contained in the folder will appear. Photos from its subfolders will NOT appear.

Here you can see all the images contained in my github folder and its subfolders
