You can see both PaperPort™ 12SE items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort™ 12SE items (files created using other applications).

All graphical files (PaperPort™ 12SE's *.max and other files) will be displayed and include an icon that indicates the application that the specific file type is associated or created with. Non-graphical files are indicated by a small rectangular thumbnail and are not displayed as actual images.
