Installation is not required, extract an archive file.
SceneExplorer needs FFmpeg and FFprove to create thumbnails. In windows distribution, these files are included in the archive file, you do not need to obtain them by yourself.
Choose [Folder]->[Add Folder].
- From the folder pane, Right-click a folder and select [Rescan to create thumbnails].
- Or from the menu, select [Task]->[start scan to create thumbnails...] to start creating thumbnails.
From the folder pane, choose a folder to show its thumbnails. Clicking [All] shows all thumbnails and [Missing] shows thumbnails which original video files are missing.
Tags provide a useful way to group related videos together and tell what a video is about. Tags also make it easier to find your content. Tags are similar to but more specific than, directories. The use of tags is completely optional.
You can create a new tag from [Tag]->[Add New Tag...] and it will be shown on Tag pane. If you select Tag, tagged videoes will be shown.
There are 3 types of path SceneExplorer uses.
The image files of thumbnails are stored under DatabaseDirectory/thumbs/ and its information is stored in database DatabaseDirectory/db.sqlite3. DatabaseDirectory can be configured by Preference Option or by command-line option "-d". Default location is C:\Users<Username>\AppData\Local\Ambiesoft\SceneExplorer.
This file stores app configurations modified by a user through Option Dialogs. You can change the location by using FolderConfig.exe". Default location is C:\Users<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Ambiesoft\SceneExplorer\SceneExplorer.ini.
This file holds Folders which user assigns. If you supply filename in command-line, the file will open. Default location is C:\Users<Username>\Documents\SceneExplorer\default.scexd.
If you want to make SceneExplorer portable, follow these instructions.
- Launch FolderConfig.exe and select "Under this folder".
- Launch SceneExplorer.exe, open option, Check Use custom database directory, and enter Database directory as ${SCENEEXPLORER_ROOT}/db.
- Or use command-line opton "-d" to specifiy the database directory.

- Or create a shortcut file.
See Help -> About Documents to confirm which files are used.
