Can you view contact sheets for two separate folders at the same time?  Thanks, Al

Do you mean side-by-side?  What OS are you running?

It wouldn't really matter if it's side by side, or one above the other.  It's just that there are times when I'd like to see contact sheets from two separate folders, simultaneously.  OS is Windows XP.  Thank you, Al.

On Windows, you can view two (or more folders) in the same contact sheet tab if you want, but there is no way to have two separate tabs side-by-side (or above and below).

I'm not totally following you.  If, for example, I have a folder named ABC, and another folder named XYZ, is there a way I can view the thumbnails from both folders on the same screen at the same time, without switching back and forth by clicking on the tabs at the top?  If so, how?  Thanks, Al.

Yes. Use the Navigator.  Open the first folder by double-clicking it. (Or single click if you have that option set.)  Then right-click on the second folder and choose "Open Folder in current Contact Sheet".
