Thumbnail View

The Browser makes it possible to identify items in a list quickly by showing their thumbnail images. For example, the Instruments and Effects tabs can show a miniature version of the user interfaces for the included plug-in instruments and effects. You could also see an image of the album cover art provided by an artist on the Cloud tab, or recognize a product immediately by its signature graphics on the Shop tab.

To show or hide the thumbnail images, click the Show Thumbnails button in the upper-right corner of the Browser:

Note that thumbnail images are not available on the Loops, Files, or Pool tabs.

Gallery View / Toggle Tree Mode

Plug-in instruments and effects can also be listed by their Gallery images in the Browser. To access the Gallery view, click the Toggle Tree Mode button () in the upper-right corner of the Browser. Next, click the Show Gallery button () on the right edge of the navigation bar. To show or hide the Gallery images, click the button again. To return to the Thumbnail view or to access the Plug-In Manager button, click the Toggle Tree Mode button again.

Adding Thumbnail and Gallery Images for 3rd-Party Plug-ins

If a thumbnail image was not provided for a 3rd-party plug-in you've installed, it is possible to add one. Simply follow these steps:

1. Insert the 3rd-party plug-in of choice to a Channel in Studio One Pro
2. Open the editing window for the plug-in
3. Near the top of the editing window, click on the right side of the corresponding plug-in tab for that plug-in to open a pop-up menu
4. Choose the Update Plug-in Thumbnail option to add and apply a new image for this plug-in. It appears in both the Thumbnail and Gallery views.

As with the included thumbnail images, you can show/hide the thumbnails you create by clicking the Show Thumbnails button in the upper-right corner of the Browser. In the Gallery view, toggle the Show List button.
