List View
List View shows the active source as a table, with one row per photo or video item. A RAW+JPEG pair can share one row. This mode is available on Mac only.
Switch Views
Click List View in the toolbar or choose View > List View. Use Grid View to switch back.
Press Space to open Full View, then Space or Esc to return. Double-clicking a preview or read-only text cell also opens Full View; editable cells open their editor instead.
Customize Columns
Click the Table Options gear or right-click a column header to show or hide columns under File, Status, EXIF, and IPTC, plus Preview.
- Drag headers to reorder columns and their dividers to resize them. The layout is remembered on this Mac.
- Filename stays visible. Alternating Row Colors changes the row backgrounds.
- Hover over a thumbnail for a larger preview. The grid-size slider and Loupe are disabled in List View.
Sort and Select
Click a sortable header to sort; click again to reverse direction. Preview, Locked, and additional IPTC columns are not sortable, but Title and Creator are.
Search and filters work as in Grid View. Group By is disabled, stack members appear as separate rows, and entering List View turns off Custom Order.
- Use Cmd + Click to add/remove rows and Shift + Click for a range.
- Navigate with ↑/↓; Cmd + A selects all displayed rows.
- Culling shortcuts work when the table, rather than a text editor, has focus.
Edit Fields
A pencil beside a header marks an editable column. Availability depends on the source and your access level. Wait for metadata to load before editing IPTC.
Rating, label, flag, favorite, and lock controls can affect the whole selection. Filename, date, and IPTC edits affect only the edited row. Select one row first for single-photo changes. Immediate Bin Presets can also start transfers after culling changes.
| Field | Action |
|---|---|
| Filename | Double-click to rename source files or enter a filename template. Name collisions are skipped. |
| Rating / Color Label | Click a star or choose a label. Clicking the same rating again can clear it. |
| Flag / Favorite / Locked | Click the control to change its state. |
| Date Taken | Double-click, choose a date/time, then Apply. |
| IPTC text | Double-click to edit. Return or leaving the field saves; Escape cancels. Option+Return adds a multiline break. |
| IPTC lists and structured fields | Use the picker or double-click to open an editor with Apply and Cancel. |
| Other file and EXIF fields | Read-only in the table. |
Inline text saves independently of the right-panel auto-save setting. Clearing a field can clear its stored value. Check the Activity Log for write errors. For source-specific storage and batch changes, see Metadata Editing.
