Notes on Importing Inlines
Cosmo Create has a lot of flexibility with regard to having inlines in
your HTML pages. With Cosmo Create, you can do any of the following:
-
Cosmo Create has a helper-application editing
utility, which allows you to edit inlines with utilities such
as Showcase or Image Works. This allows you to edit inlines with the
application of your choice. (If the application you wish to use is not
available on the Object Editors
palette, you can add it.)
-
You can perform actions on types of objects when you import them by setting them up in the import preferences panel.
-
You can translate any object from one file type to another when you
import it. For example, if all your image files are in Silicon Graphics
RGB format, but you want to convert them to GIF when they are imported
into your HTML files (because GIF images are a standard Web image
format), you can set this up in the
conversion preferences panel.
Note: Cosmo Create attempts to convert Showcase files to GIF
format. If this doesn't work, Cosmo Create creates a link to that file.
If the file was linked rather than inserted, it indicates that Cosmo
Create tried to find installed software on your system and wasn't able
to locate it. Cosmo Create requires one of the following to perform a
Showcase-to-GIF conversion:
-
The Impressario software. The Impressario software is generally
installed on your system by default.
-
Ghostscript and the ImageTools. Ghostscript can be downloaded across
the Internet for free. The ImageTools are part of the default
installation and should already exist on your system.
