Save
Save the selected image without prompting for a folder or file name in the download folder specified with the search or grab. (Save doesn't apply to collections, Save in does)
Save in
Opens a dialog prompting you for a folder and (optional) a file name. The file will be saved in that folder. It also stays in the original folder.
Use for new search
All images have a file name. Often the name of the file is related to the content of the file. E.g. you found an image named "eva_longoria_beach_12.jpg". It is an image of miss Longoria on a beach.
You want more pictures off Eva Longoria. You could type her name in the search bar and off you go. You can also use the image name for new grab. The name of the picture is splitted into parts as "Eva", "Eva Longoria", "Longoria Beach", "Beach 12". You choose one out of the list, and off you go, the search is created. A handy help for not having you to type long or difficult names.
Grab URL
When running a search you will get results coming from various websites. Continuing with previous example, you e.g. see images coming up at a site called "www.italian-models.com/eve-longoria". You decide you want to see all images on that site. You could type the URL in the search bar but to save you from typing "www.italian-models.com/eve-longoria" you can click Grab URL.
Rename
Rename only works for images in collections, not in grabs or searches. (Since there the images are on websites and they control the names). You get prompted for a new name, enter it and press OK.
Delete
Delete the selected image. Works in collections, grabs and searches. In Grabs and searches the image is deleted from the results. You could use that e.g. to delete a few unwanted results and then use Save all to copy all results to your collections.
Before a file is actually deleted you are asked for verification. If that botters you, there is a checkbox to put the question off.

Buttons in the info view
|
|
|
In the info view of grabs and searches you see a tree representing that sites and folders inside the sites where images were found. Often sites have a rather clear folder structure, storing simular images in certain folders. With the button block you can choose to block a folder so that nothing more out of that folder will be downloaded. With unblock you can undo that action again.
E.g. a site with animal pictures has organized them in folders named horses, dogs, cats, etc. If you only want the horses, you can block the other folders.
