The ActionDex user interface consists of three panes:

1. The Categories and Sets Panes on the left side where you organize and access your actions.
2. The Details pane on the top right where you view details of your actions.
3. The Notes pane in the lower right where you can add and edit notes about an action.

One of the most powerful features of ActionDex is the ability to organize your actions how YOU want to. You can create a hierarchy of categories, nested as deeply as needed, so that you can quickly navigate to the action you need, when you need it. You can also place actions in multiple categories. As your action collection grows, ActionDex makes it simple to move your actions around and reorganize them using an intuitive drag and drop interface. In this screen shot you can see how the Sharpening category has been divided into several sub-categories.

By simply clicking a toolbar button, the user interface can be collapsed so that only the Categories and Sets panes are shown, minimizing the amount of screen space used by ActionDex. Another toolbar button puts ActionDex in "stay on top" mode so that it will be visible even if you run Photoshop in full screen mode.

You can easily create and associate preview images with actions. A floating preview window is automatically updated as you select different actions.

Another floating window displays all the "Stop messages" in the selected action. This allows you to easily see all the instructions the author has embedded in the action. VERY handy for consulting the instructions while making adjustments in a dialog the action invokes!

Another toolbar button displays the ActionDex properties and Photoshop set/name for the selected action. From here you can set the author, download website, description, and personal rating of the action. You can also modify the notes and view "Stop messages" in the action. ActionDex maintains all this information, even if the action is unloaded in Photoshop so that you can reload the action at a later time.
