Short: Datatype picture viewer for directory tools
Author: thomas-rapp@web.de (Thomas Rapp)
Uploader: thomas-rapp@web.de (Thomas Rapp)
Version: 1.1
Type: gfx/show
New since Version 1.0:
======================
- some new keys to press
- PATTERN and FLASH parameters
- directory read is slightly faster.
- the picture list is sorted before being displayed even if the
directory read has not finished.
Introduction
============
This program is meant to be configured as picture viewer in directory
tools like DirOpus or DosControl. It shows the doubleclicked picture
in a borderless window on the specified custom screen. The remarkable
about this program is that it reads the whole directory the picture is
in and you can then choose other pictures out of this directory from
a menu or by pressing the cursor keys.
Installation
============
Copy the PicShow executable somewhere where your directory tool can
find it. A good place is the C directory.
Configuration
=============
Call PicShow as a Shell program with the following parameters:
FILE/A The picture to show first. You can specify a directory
here. In this case the directory is read first and then
the topmost picture is shown.
PUBSCREEN/K The pubscreen where to open the window. Default is the
default pubscreen (usually Workbench).
P=PATTERN/K Only picture files that match this name pattern are
shown in the list.
FLASH/S Flashes the screen (displays beep) after the directory
read is complete.
Usage
=====
When the window showing a picture is open you can do this:
o Quit PicShow
- double click into the window or
- press the ESC key or
- press Q
o Show the next picture
- press the cursor down key or
- press the cursor right key or
- press the cursor down or right keys on the numeric keypad or
- press space bar or
- press return
o Show the previous picture
- press the cursor up key or
- press the cursor left key or
- press the cursor up or left keys on the numeric keypad or
- press backspace (the <- key above return)
o Show some infos about the current picture
- keep the mouse pointer inside the window and don't move it for
some time
o If the picture is too large to fit into the screen
- grab the picture with the left mouse button and move it around.
o Choose a picture from the list
- press the right mouse button and hold it down. The list can scroll
up and down if there are more files than fit into one page. Just
move the mouse pointer over the arrow(s).
