# Pan View Window

- The Geeqie User Manual
- Other Windows

This window proposes alternative views of the current directory and its children. You can pan the view as you pan an image in normal view mode, using left mouse button and drag.

A primary mouse button click on any image will display informations about the image. Secondary mouse button will show a context menu.

Note: The pan view recursively visits each folder under the specified folder, so be careful it can eat a lot of ressources.
