Introduction

The ThumbsPlus WebClient is a web browser-based client interface connecting to a ThumbsPlus database, presenting its content to users over the web. The ThumbsPlus WebClient Server accesses a ThumbsPlus database using ADODB connections from Active Server Pages hosted under an IIS web server. Its window layout is similar in form and function to the user interface of ThumbsPlus, including a main window for displaying database folder paths and thumbnails and view windows for displaying selected images.

The WebClient main window consists of four functional areas: Toolbar, Folder Tree, Preview Pane and Thumbnail View.

As with ThumbsPlus, images can be opened for display and printing in the WebClient by double-clicking on a thumbnail to open the image in a browser View Window.

A WebClient view window consists of three areas: Toolbar, Image Area and Status Bar.

The WebClient also supports user preference settings similar to those in ThumbsPlus.  Preference settings allow for customization of many of the user interface elements.  For more information on user preferences see: Preferences.

NOTE: The ThumbsPlus WebClient has been designed to work with Microsoft Internet Explorer web browsers, version 5.0 and higher.
