This pane appears on the left hand side of the main window. It lists all the snippets in the database, grouped under section headers, which appear in bold. Snippets can be grouped in three ways:
If a search has been run, the snippets that are displayed are just those that match the search.
Section headers for sections that contain no snippets are hidden by default. This can be changed using the Display tab of the Preferences dialogue box.
Choosing an item in the overview pane causes detailed information about it to appear in the Details Pane. The selected item normally appears in the current tab in the details pane. However, if the item is clicked whilst holding down the Ctrl key, the item is displayed in a new tab in the detail pane.
The tree used to display the snippets can be expanded and collapsed in several ways:
You can configure whether the overview pane tree view appears fully expanded or fully collapsed by using the Display tab of the Preferences dialogue box.
Rolling the mouse over a tree item highlights it, and if it's text is not completely visible, displays a tool-tip showing the complete text.
