VisualFlow

VisualFlow is a Sony state-of-the-art multimedia browser designed specifically
for Memory Stick media. It displays any still picture, movie or sound files stored
in a Memory Stick media in a visually pleasing, artistic manner. VisualFlow
plays a selected movie or sound file, and enables playback of files by other
applications like PictureGear, PictureToy, Memory Stick Slideshow and
Windows® Explorer.
To use VisualFlow
1From the Start menu, point to Programs, point to VisualFlow, and then click
on VisualFlow.
2Click on an icon in the View section on the main toolbar to select a display
layout.
3Click on an icon in the Sort section on the main toolbar to select a sorting
method.
4Placing your cursor on the left end of the main toolbar activates the current
Memory Stick properties.
5Placing your cursor on the right end of the main toolbar activates a
secondary toolbar with more functions.
6Click on an image to show a normal view centered on the screen.
Double-clicking an image shows an enlarged view.
7The movie file starts playback when the view is enlarged. Click again on the
movie files to restore the view to normal.
If your system is Memory Stick-compatible, the VAIO Action Setup may be configured
to launch the VisualFlow browser upon insertion of a Memory Stick media. In this
case, VisualFlow starts automatically when a Memory Stick media is inserted.
While an image is enlarged, the Launch toolbar appears at the bottom of the window.
Any associated application can be activated from this point.
