MORE INFORMATION

When you click on a thumbnail in the main screen of ClipArt Gallery, the status bar always shows the complete path to the specified graphic, including its extension. In Clip Gallery, if you click on a thumbnail and then click Clip Properties, the Clip Properties dialog box also lists the complete path and name of the graphic, including its extension. Also, if you update your thumbnails and ClipArt Gallery can't find one of the graphics, the Update dialog box also lists the file with its extension.

ClipArt Gallery and Clip Gallery provide this information to help you distinguish between pictures that might have the same file name but different file types. This information is also useful if you are using a Find ClipArt query, where you can have ClipArt Gallery search for graphics by file type.
