To use the Lightning Browser:1. Hold Alt and use the Tab key to find Lightning, then release Alt to
open the Lightning Browser. The Lightning Browser can be set in
the View menu to display thumbnail images in several sizes; with
or without file details; and with or without the Tree, for quick
navigation to other open databases.
2. To edit an image detail other than Date, double-click the detail,
edit it, then press Enter.
3. Right-click a thumbnail image, then choose Title in the drop-down
menu to open the image in the active Deko graphic window.
Note You can drag and drop an image from the Lightning Browser
right into the Deko Program window.
CONNECTING TO A REMOTE LIGHTNING SYSTEM
To access Lightning databases on another system in your network, you must
first connect to that system. After you follow this one-time connection process,
the other system will always appear in the Lightning Browser Tree.
To connect to a remote Lightning system:1. From Lightning’s File menu, choose Open.
2. In the Open dialog box, click Network Neighborhood.
3. Double-click the remote system name, the exported drive (usually
D), the Lightning directory, then the databse (.pff) file you wish to
open.
4. Exit and re-start Lightning.
STORING IMAGES IN A LIGHTNING DATABASE
To save a Deko graphic to a Lightning database:1. Start Deko and open the graphic in an active Program window.
2. From the Deko File menu, choose Save To Lightning.
3. In the Save To Lightning dialog box, the default Number is the
first unused number, either within the database or at the end of the
workspace, depending on Database options set in Lightning under
Preferences. You can change this value or edit any of the file
details, which default to the details of the last saved image.
4. Click OK. The image now appears in the Lightning Browser.
Note You can drag and drop one or more images from Windows
Explorer into the Lightning Browser.
