The toolbar provides some clickable icons. They are to use for tasks mentioned below:

Under the toolbar there are some fields. These are the Pixel-Size and the Date.
The Pixel-Size will shrink or stretch all the images in the sources to the defined size automatically. The Pixel-Size can be manipulated vertically or horizontally only. The other-side will resize proportionally to the main side, so that the images will always fit to the correct scale. The Date can be disabled.
