JPEGview v2.4 May 1998
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What it is
----------
JPEGview is a Windows '95 viewer for JPEG picture files. It is
designed for quickly viewing pictures without a lot of filename
selecting and clicking of buttons.
Features
--------
+Full-screen mode
+Magnification levels
+Drag-scroll large pictures
+No filename selection
+Rename/delete files
+Drag and drop files
How to use
----------
Run the 'JPEGview.exe' program and select a drive and directory.
Once a directory is selected, just click the picture window or
press the space-bar to load each JPEG picture in turn. No filename
selection necessary.
(You can of course choose individual files instead).
Large pictures can be scrolled by holding down the left button in
the picture window and dragging the mouse.
Magnification and Popup menu
----------------------------
Right-click the picture window to show the popup menu. Select a
magnification level (this will remain the same for all pictures
until you change it).
**NEW v2.4**
A new magnification setting is 'Fit to screen size'. This resizes
each picture proportionally so that all of the picture is shown at
once, as large as possible, without distortion.
From the popup menu you can also select whether the scrollbars are
'tracking' or not. Tracking scrollbars scroll the picture as you
move the bar. Non-tracking scrollbars only scroll the picture when
you stop moving and release the bar. It may be easier to scroll
very large pictures by turning tracking scrollbars off.
Full screen view
----------------
To get a near full-screen view for large pictures just click the
'Minimise' button on the file select window or in the popup menu.
When in full-screen view a tiny window will remain with a 'Maximise'
button. Pressing this will return the file window to normal size.
To remove the tiny window and have nothing on screen but the picture
just right-click the tiny window.
N.B. You can still right-click the picture to use the popup menu or
press 'M' on the keyboard to maximise the file window.
Rename and delete files
-----------------------
Right-click a filename in the file window to delete or rename it.
Keyboard layout
---------------
'Space' - load next picture in list
'Backspace' - load previous picture in list
'Up' and 'Down' - move though the list of files (even when minimised)
'Enter' - show selected picture
'M' - minimise\maximise file window
'ESC' - exit JPEGview
'1'-'6' - magnify levels ('3'=normal)
Drag and drop
-------------
Drag and drop a JPEG file onto the JPEGview program in Explorer
to load and view the picture immediately.
You can also drag and drop onto a shortcut to the JPEGview
program e.g. on your Desktop.
If JPEGview is already open you can drag and drop a JPEG file onto
the picture window to load and show it.
Default JPEG viewer
-------------------
JPEGview can be your default JPEG file viewer; double-clicking a
JPEG file from anywhere in Windows 95 will then display it with
JPEGview - a lot quicker than waiting for your web browser to load.
Look for 'Associating file types with programs' in the Windows help
for more information.
Adding to Start menu
--------------------
You can add JPEGview to your Start menu by;
a) Select 'Start|Settings|Taskbar|Start Menu Programs|Add'.
b) Browse for the JPEGview program and double-click it.
c) Select where on the Start menu the program should appear.
Default directory
-----------------
The directory JPEGview defaults to when it loads can be changed by
sending a directory name as a parameter to the program.
For example, if the program is in the 'c:\windows' directory
then entering 'JPEGview d:\art\jpeg' at the 'Run' prompt on the
Start menu will make JPEGview look in the 'd:\art\jpeg' directory
first.
It may be easier to make a shortcut to the program and make
the shortcut always send the parameter. You can do this by
creating a shortcut to the JPEGview program and then
right-clicking the shortcut and selecting 'properties|shortcut'.
Then put your default picture directory in the 'Target' box after
the program name.
Removing/uninstalling JPEGview
------------------------------
If you think this is a useless program then it is very easy to
remove completely. Simply delete;
'JPEGview.exe' (program file)
'JPEGview.txt' (this file)
What, no uninstalling Registry keys or .ini files, no leftover DLLs?
Sorry.
