When you open a file that is an image file format (for example, JPG, BMP, or ITHMB), the Ultra File Opener Image Viewer opens with the image displayed in the view area.  Refer to the Viewer page for an example.  What distinguishes the UFO viewers from one another is the menu bar and status bar.  All the file functions are controlled in these two areas.  We will start with the status bar as it pertains to the viewing of the image.

Status Bar

The Image Viewer has its own status bar with the following functions:
