A simple double mouse click action on these items allows users to fetch all the available standard or animated images; supported formats include JPGs, GIFs, and PNGs.
All the items grabbed by the application are displayed in an ample list, with large thumbnails. Besides the standard, “Tiles” layout a “Large Icons” option is available, allowing users to view the name of the picture. A dedicated, large viewer can be employed to display enlarged versions of the grabbed items.
