Snap shots are objects that catalog the content of the selected item.
They allows the user to maintain a light weight image of the item which can be browsed and searched. The user creates a snap shot by selecting the folder, device, etc. and choosing Make Snap Shot from the File menu. A item is created next to the original. The date is appended to produce a unique name as well as indicate when the snap shot was taken. Snap shots are not dynamic and only represent the content that was present when the snap shot was taken.
