### Introduction

manage your image files (photos, pictures) on you computer in a nice way. It includes a practical image viewer for watch your images when you want.

### Requeriments

JGraphicEye is a 100% pure java application, this means that the only things you need to run the program is a computer, don't matter what kind of arquitechture, that got installed a java virtual machine with java 2.0 or higher.

- A video card.

If you don't have java, you can get it free in http://java.sun.com

### Installing JGraphicEye

### Using the Image Browser

If you had used some graphic shell like the explorer of Windows , Konqueror of KDE, Nautillus of Gnome or some other, it you will be familiar for you. So open a file using the folders panel to the left or choose File/Open. When you load a folder, JGraphicEye will display a miniatures of all images inside the selected folder.
You can cut, copy, rename or delete images, either one or more at time. Also you can move images to a different folder dragging them from the images panel to the destiny folder in the folders panel.
Renaming deserves a special focus. If you select only one image and make the renaming action (Edit/rename or press F2), will be appears a dialog box asking you for the new name for the selected image. But if you have more than one images selected and you go to the rename them, will be appears a Batch Renaming dialog box. This dialog lets you rename a set of images at time, following a customed pattern. You can replace characters in the original names, choose a pattern to rename (numeric ascending, for example) and so on.
Also you can create/rename/delete folders if you need.

### Using the Image Viewer

The image viewer of JGraphicEye is quite simple. Double click on an image miniaturized or pressing enter when the focus is on it will show the selected image in fullscreen mode. You can watch the image in its real dimension and also make zooming, pressing + (show the image in a bigger size) or - (show the image in a littlest size). If you press * you will get the image in its real size. If you press /, the size will fits to the screen's size. You can cut, copy, rename or delete the image in the viewer.
If you press RePag or AvPag , will loads the next image in the folder and will show it. You get out of the image viewer pressing ESCAPE.

### Image Presentation

Sometimes you may want to see the images in a folder in sequence, like a diapositives presentation. If you like that, you can do it with JGraphicEye. Go to Edit/Scroll images and you will, in fullscreen mode a sequence of the images in the current folder, wich will be showed in the screen for a few seconds (you can customize them) and the next will be the same, all until you press ESCAPE.

### Customizing Preferences

JGraphicEye lets you customize some features. Go to the Edit/Configure menu, and you will get a dialog where you can choose the features you wish customize. The most part of them are auto-explicative.
You can choose the background colors, the delay seconds between images in the image presentation, the preferred folder to start JGraphicEye and other characteristics.
