The Main Interface

Zenspire’s main window is designed for clarity and focus, divided into two primary areas:

1. Sidebar (Navigation Panel): On the left, for navigating your library sources.
2. Image Grid: On the right, for browsing images from the selected source.

Sidebar

The sidebar provides access to all your image sources, organized into logical sections:

• Library: Smart sections for quick access. Details in the Library section.
  • Favorites
  • Quick Save
• Folders: Directly mirrors the folder structure within your Zenspire root folder on disk. Details in the Folders section.
• Collections: Your custom, virtual groups of images for projects, themes, or mood boards. Details in the Collections section.

Sidebar Toolbar

At the bottom of the sidebar:

• [+] New Button: Click the dropdown to create a new Folder (on disk) or Collection (virtual).
• ⚙️ Settings Button: Opens the application Settings window.

Image Grid

This is where your images are displayed when you select a source from the sidebar. Details in the Image Grid section.

• Navigation Title: At the top of the window, shows the name of the currently selected Folder, Collection, or Library item.
• Grid Toolbar: Located in the main window’s toolbar area, providing controls for the grid:
  • Layout (▦): Choose how thumbnails are displayed:
    Original

    Preserves the image’s original aspect ratio within the thumbnail space. Good for seeing the full composition.

    

    Square

    Creates a uniform grid using square thumbnails, cropping images if necessary. Provides a very neat, aligned look.

    

  • Size Slider: Intuitively adjust the size of the thumbnails displayed in the grid.
• Empty State: If a selected source contains no images, a helpful message and icon are shown in the grid area.
