This answers the most common questions we've been asked about PMView. Don't forget to look at the File Open Container Q&A and the Slideshow Q&A.
Q. How do I convert files from one format to another?
A. Choose "File->Open" from PMView's menu bar. This will open up the File Open dialog. Right click on the file you want to convert and choose, for instance, "Convert to->GIF".
Q. PMView's menu bar has disappeared. How do I get it back?
A. Right click on PMView's main window. Choose "View->Show->Menu Bar" from the resulting pop-up menu.
Q. How do I get rid of the annoying About dialog that always pops up when I start PMView?
A. If you haven't registered PMView yet, register! In the unregistered version of PMView you cannot dismiss the dialog until 5 seconds has elapsed.
Q. Why do desktop colors change/flash whenever I load an image?
A. This is caused by the palette manager when it remaps system colors. If you're willing to sacrifice color quality, you can fix this problem by turning off the palette manager; Uncheck Use Palette Manager on the Palette page in PMView's Preferences Notebook. Alternatively, you may consider setting your display to a mode that provides more than 256 colors, if possible.
Q. Why does/doesn't PMView ask for confirmation before deleting a file?
A. PMView will ask for file delete confirmation in accordance with the setting on the Confirmations page in PMView's Preferences Notebook.
