Drag Mode (Swap and Move)

The ⇄ Swap and → Move buttons control what happens when you drag an image with the right mouse button in the Central Panel. Toggle between them with the M key.

Swap mode (⇄)

Dragging an image and dropping it on another exchanges the two photos.

When both images have the same aspect ratio, the exchange is immediate and both positions stay the same.

When the images have different aspect ratios:

• Same page — the swap is blocked. Auto mode re-sorts photos by aspect ratio when the page is recalculated, so the exchange would be undone immediately. Use Move mode to relocate photos between slots on the same page.
• Different pages — the swap goes through, but both affected pages may be recalculated to fit the new photo proportions, which can change the visual layout of those pages.

Move mode (→)

Dragging an image and dropping it elsewhere relocates it there. Only the photo itself and its aspect ratio travel with it — on an automatic page the exact size and position are recalculated to fit the destination, so the result won’t necessarily match the spot where you dropped it.

• Drop on a slot on a different page to move the photo there.
• Drop on the Nav Bar to move the photo to that page.
• Moving within the same page is only possible in Manual mode. In Auto mode, use Swap instead (if ratios match), or switch to Manual mode first.

Which mode to use

• Swap for quick reordering of same-ratio images — page layout stays intact.
• Move to shift a photo to a completely different page or to reposition in Manual mode.
