About GAPS - The About box lists copyright information and some special thanks. There's
also a running tally of the number of images and bytes that you've deleted and sorted using
GAPS. You can check out GAPS' current ChangeLog from here as well.
Check for Updates - Connects to the Internet to look for new versions of GAPS.
Preferences - You'll never guess what this does! =)
File Menu
New Browser - Opens additional GAPS sorting windows. They initially load to the same folder as the current
window, but you can then open other folders.
Open... - Open a new folder of images to sort. The Open dialog contains an "Open Recursively" checkbox which
allows you to open an entire tree of folders at once.
Open Recent - Listing of recently opened folders
Refresh Current Cache - Rescans the current folder adding newly created images and removing images that may
have been deleted outside of GAPS.
Save All Caches to Disk - Flushes all pending undo'able images to disk and saves GAPS' cache files to disk.
Shuffle Images - Toggles between showing images shuffled randomly or sorted alphabetically.
Next Image - Displays the next image in the current folder
Previous Image - Displays the previous image in the current folder
Random Image - Jumps to a random image in the current folder (doesn't affect the shuffled/sorted state)
Toggle Fullscreen - Enters full screen mode. You'll need to hit Command-F to go back to normal.
Open in Preview - Opens the current image in Mac OS X's Preview.app. Useful if you want to print an image
or to view all the pages of a multi-page PDF or animated GIF.
Window Menu
Fairly standard Mac OS X stuff except for...
Sorting Panel - Displays an always-on-top panel of all assigned sorting actions. Can serve as a mouse-accessible
way to sort or as a reminder of which keys on your keyboard are mapped to which actions.
Help Menu
If you're reading this, you've probably found this menu...
GAPS Help - Gets you to the help book you're currently reading.
Show Debugging Log File - Most of the time, this doesn't actually do anything. When GAPS is in active
development (IE it's full of new bugs features), the developer may enable a special debugging mode
which writes all of GAPS' console output to a special file instead of to the System Console. Attaching
this file to bug reports (if it exists) is usually helpful.
(Next two open a web browser) - Doesn't actually do anything. Just serves to inform you that if you select
either of the next two menu options, GAPS will spawn your default web browser and open a page from GAPS'
website.
Report a Bug - Opens a browser and sends you to GAPS' bug submission page.
Known Issues - Opens a browser and sends you to GAPS' Bugzilla page listing all open bugs.
