Print Options

The Print Options dialog box provides you with some flexibility when printing images to a printer. The options provided are:

Print File Name

When selected, this option prints the image name at the top of the printed page.

Print Resolution

When selected, this option prints the image's size and number of colors at the top of the printed page.

Scale to Fit Page

When selected, this option scales the image as large as what fits on the current printer page considering page orientation and image size. Unscaled images are printed at the printer resolution.

After selecting the options you desire, click the OK button. The dialog disappears and the settings are saved to JIFFY.INI in your Windows directory. Clicking on Cancel leaves the settings as selected, but does not write the changes to disk.

Slide Show Command


Slide Show Command

This command allows you to view multiple image files from a directory in full window mode with little or no intervention on your part. When started, this command pops up a dialog box to set up the slide show.

On the left side of the dialog box is a list of image files in the current directory. Use the mouse or keyboard to highlight one or more files to view. You can click on the Mark All button to highlight every file, and the Unmark All to remove every file from the selection queue.

At the top of the right side of the dialog is a spin button used to select the interval between slides. Click on the up or down spin indicators to select a time out interval. Clicking on the Save button saves the interval you selected to JIFFY.INI (located in your Windows directory). You may select an interval ranging from 3 seconds to 999 seconds.

NOTE: The shareware version limits the upper time limit to 20 seconds.

Click on the OK button to start the slide show. The program hides the controls, then shows the files you selected one by one in full window mode. Slides continue until all highlighted files have been displayed. After the last file is displayed, the controls reappear on the screen.

You have several options while the slide show is in progress:

Pressing a key or clicking on the image bypasses the time out interval and immediately moves on to the next image.

Pressing the space bar pauses the slide show at the current slide. Press any key or click on the image to restart the show.

Pressing Esc cancels the rest of the slide show and returns the program to regular operation.

As each image is displayed, it is deselected in the slide show dialog box. This way, if you need to stop the slide show before it is finished, you can return to it to finish viewing the remaining images. The remaining selections are cleared should you change directories.
