# Getting started

> This document refers to version 1.X and is not relevant to current versions anymore.

To get started, just follow this tour though the app:

1.  Select a folder, by pressing the "Select Folder" Button,
    and open the folder you want to sort.

2.  Look at the UI. You should see a couple of buttons:

    - "Skip": Skips the current image and loads
      the next image.

      ![Screenshot showing the skip button](https://github.com/Lolle2000la/Image-Sort/blob/master/Image%20sort%20screenshots/Skip.png?raw=true)

          _Can be used by pressing the button
          or the **left arrow key**._

    - "Move": Moves the current image to the
      highlighted/selected folder in the list on the left
      side of the window.

      ![Screenshot showing the move button](https://github.com/Lolle2000la/Image-Sort/blob/master/Image%20sort%20screenshots/Move.png?raw=true)

          __You can select another folder just by
          clicking it or using the up and down keys to move the selection.__

      or press **ctrl+r**._

          at the same time._

    - "New Folder": Asks for the name for the new folder and creates that
      folder inside the current one.

      _Use it by pressing the enter folder button, double clicking the folder you want to
      enter or by pressing the **Enter** key_

    - "Search": Located in the top of the window itself, this button toggles
      the search box on or off. Whenever search is on, selecting a folder from
      the list and skipping/moving the current image is not possible, so
      remember to turn it off before you continue.

    - A slider indicating your progress: This slider can be used to go through the images you have
      and jump to a specific one.
      _Note: the progress is counted, by how many images you have sorted (skipped/moved), not by the
      index of the image you are at. The first image is basically 0 progress._

      ![Screenshot showing the progress slider](https://github.com/Lolle2000la/Image-Sort/blob/master/Image%20sort%20screenshots/Progress_Slider.png?raw=true)

      _Use it by dragging the slider._

    - "Feedback": Opens the issues page on GitHub. You can give feedback there.

      _Use it by pressing the feedback button._

3.  Now try out all those features. Try doing all this stuff with the keyboard only. Once you are good,
    close this Window and come back to it later on if you need to. You can open it, by pressing the "Help"
    button or the **F1** key.

That's it. Now you are ready to sort all your folders.
