- Galleria and Galleria/CM (Capture Module)
- -----------------------------------------
-
- Version 1.4 - April 13, 1993
-
-
- (c) Copyright 1991-1993
- Bitware, Software & Services
-
-
- Galleria and Galleria/CM together provide a complete package for the display,
- edit, printing and conversion of bitmapped images for systems using IBM OS/2
- 2.0 (or later). Both are high-performance 32-bit tools which exploit OS/2 2.0
- features such as large memory space and multiple threads. As Presentation
- Manager applications, they feature ease of use and interoperability with other
- applications on the desktop. Comprehensive online help is also available.
-
-
- Galleria is a general purpose tool for the management of bitmapped images. It
- provides a window for the display of bitmaps at varying resolutions. Bitmaps
- can be read from the OS/2 clipboard or from disk in numerous formats. Once
- loaded, the displayed image can be edited (cropped, resized, rotated etc.) and
- converted to monochrome or grayscale. The result can be transferred to other
- applications via the clipboard or saved on disk in a different format. High
- quality printed output can also be generated.
-
- Galleria supports a file search function to list all bitmaps available. Also,
- a multi-level undo capability is provided to reverse previous edits. Concurrent
- operation of most tasks (such as display, conversion, file save and printing)
- is possible due to OS/2's multi-threading capability.
-
- Galleria supports all common bitmap file formats including BMP, PCX, TIFF and
- GIF. Kodak Photo-CD format is also supported for import. Refer to the online
- documentation for a complete list of supported file formats (for import and
- export).
-
-
- Galleria/CM (Capture Module) is an optional add-on to Galleria. This utility
- can take a snapshot of the current OS/2 desktop contents and save the captured
- image as a bitmap. A number of options exist to control both the portion of the
- desktop captured and the destination for the bitmap. Galleria/CM will appear as
- an icon on the desktop and a capture is initiated by double-clicking on this
- icon. Various options for the capture can be set by invoking the Options dialog
- from the pop-up system menu.
-
- Galleria/CM supports a full desktop capture, all windows for selected
- applications, a selected region of the desktop or a complete window or window
- client area. For desktop, application and active window captures, a delay can
- be set to enable the desktop contents to be arranged prior to the capture.
-
- Once the capture is complete, the captured image can be:
-
- - placed in the system clipboard for subsequent use by any application
- - displayed by Galleria for immediate post-processing, conversion etc.
- - saved as a file on disk in numerous formats
- - printed at a specified size and resolution on any attached printer
-
-
- Galleria and Galleria/CM require either IBM OS/2 2.0 (at CSD level XR06055) or
- IBM OS/2 2.1 (6.498 - March '93 beta) or later. Use on 2.0 systems prior to
- application of the 2.0 Service Pack is NOT supported.

- Do you have the LATEST copy of Galleria and Galleria/CM? Updated versions of
- these programs will be uploaded (together) to the OS2USER forum on CompuServe
- as GALLER.ZIP. Licensed users can also download this file periodically to avail
- themselves to enhancements, bug fixes etc.

- - added random and ordered dither to monochrome conversion types
- - improved performance for 486 class machines (386 performance unchanged)
- - capture module now palette 'aware' to capture currently realized colors
- - permit capture of windowed DOS and OS/2 sessions with Applications source
- - added import support for Amiga IFF images
- - added Image trim option to permit fine adjustment of crop size
- - enable specification of initial directory name as command line parameter
- - added 'screen show' facility to display listed files at set interval
-

-
- Installation instructions:
-
- - Delete all files from previously installed versions of Galleria and
- Galleria/CM.
-
- - Copy all files to a directory of your choice. The GALLERIA.EXE and
- GALLERCM.EXE files must both reside in the same directory for Galleria/CM
- captures with the "Editor" destination to function.
-
- - If you are a licensed user, copy the GALLERIA.KEY and/or GALLERCM.KEY
- file(s) to the same directory as above.
-
- - Optionally, type "EAUTIL GALLERIA.EXE GALLERIA.EA /j" to attach the
- extended attributes to the Galleria executable. These attributes contain
- file association information to enable Galleria to be added to the "Open"
- menu of all bitmap files. Refer to the online OS/2 Command Reference for
- information on the EAUTIL utility.
-
- - Update the LIBPATH and SET HELP statements in CONFIG.SYS with an explicit
- reference to the directory containing the .DLL and .HLP files. Re-boot to
- implement CONFIG.SYS changes.
-
- - Create desktop icons with program references for both GALLERIA.EXE and
- GALLERCM.EXE. DO NOT drag the icons representing the executables from the
- file system (Drives window). Instead, take a copy (Ctrl+drag) of an
- existing icon (eg. anything in the system Command Prompts folder), open
- the settings notebook and edit the "Program" parameters with the
- complete path name of each file. (The "Working directory" may differ
- from that containing the executable.) The icon title can be set on the
- "General" page of the settings notebook.
-
- - For the Galleria/CM program reference icon created for GALLERCM.EXE, open
- the settings notebook (right mouse button on the icon), select the
- "Window" page and set the "Minimized button behaviour" to "Minimize window
- to desktop". This setting is MANDATORY for correct operation.
-
- - Double click on the program reference icon to start each program.
-
- - Type "VIEW GALLERIA.INF" or "VIEW GALLERCM.INF" to read program
- documentation. For printed documentation, select Print/All sections. All
- the information contained in these files is also available by invoking
- online help.
-
-
- De-installation instructions:
-
- (These instructions apply ONLY if extended attributes were attached with
- EAUTIL during installation.)
-
- - Delete both program reference icons and all files. If the extended
- attributes were applied, deleting GALLERIA.EXE will restore ICONEDIT as
- the default on the Open menu of bitmap files. Note that there may be a
- delay before such a change takes effect.
-
- - To restore templates, open the settings notebook for the icon in the
- templates folder with the "G" and press "Default" on the "General" page.
- Make sure that the template status is retained.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Attention OS/2 2.1 beta users
-
- Due to improvements in support for Palette Management with some display
- drivers, a modification to Galleria is provided which may improve display
- performance. If your display adapter/driver combination supports Palette
- Management you may wish to apply the provided patch. Make sure you retain a
- copy of the original GALLERIA.EXE should display problems be experienced.
-
- To apply this patch, enter "PATCH GALLERIA.FIX /a" at the command line prompt.
- Refer to the online OS/2 Command Reference for information on the PATCH utility.
