or at the top of the main window when table of horizontal pairs view mode of results:

Switching the view mode of results is carried out using the item View - View mode of results of Main Menu. The functionality of the preview pane does not depend on the view mode of results and is designed to display the current result of Table of Results. With it you can examine in detail the duplicate or defective images, as well as make the basic operations on them.

Showing of pair of duplicates

A pair of duplicate images is displayed on the panel in a column or row (depending form view mode of results). The relative position of images corresponds to their position in the list of results. The control buttons are placed near them. Next is a list of these buttons and their names:

  • or - Delete both pictures.

  • or - Replace second picture by the first picture.

  • or - Delete first picture.

  • - Go to the previous result.

  • - Go to the next result.

  • or - Delete second picture.

  • or - Replace first picture by the second picture.

  • - Mark current result as a mistake.

The meanings of most actions undertaken by the buttons are well understood from their names. We describe only the last: this button allows you to mark the current result as false that would exclude his appearance after repeated searches. Additionally, we note that all the above actions (except for moving between the results) may be undone.
