Navigating the Main Screen
When launching Game Collector for the first time, it opens an example database.
The nice thing about the sample database is that you can browse around, try
out all the great features, and really get a feel for Game Collector, without having to worry about messing anything up or losing any personal data.
So, give it a whirl... browse around and have some fun!
Here are some things you may want to try:
- Click around in the movie list on the left to make the Game Details appear in the Details panel in the lower right.
- Re-select the "Collection - example.gmc" item top left, then click on the Images tab. This switches the screen into Images view. Click the List tab to switch back to List view, a columnar view showing multiple columns of data.
- You can resize the columns and screens by clicking and holding the mouse button between two screens and drag to widen, or narrow.
