I give it a go from time to time, it is amazingly usefull, and should
be given some mag space (hint)
Here's one I did to load the pics from my DC210 camera download
directory into "ImageDesk", a somewhat old, but extremely usefull pic
cataloguer.
/* /Scans and makes thumbnails of Pix from Digital Camera download directory / */
OPTIONS RESULTS
IF ~SHOW(ports, "IDESK_REXXPORT") THEN
DO
ADDRESS COMMAND "run programs:graphics/ImageDesk/ImageDesk"
ADDRESS COMMAND "waitforport IDESK_REXXPORT"
END
if( ADDRESS() ~= "IDESK_REXXPORT" ) then
ADDRESS IDESK_REXXPORT
/* /Alter the TARGET string to your download directory path/ */
TARGET = "Work2:DC210_download"
GENTHUMBNAILS TARGET
EXIT
This script is called from an icon, using IconX, like this:
rx programs:graphics/Imagedesk/Rexx/ShowCAMERAPIX.IDesk
I have this icon set up in toolsdaemon, so once I've downloaded
the pix it's just a matter of selecting "DC210 pictures" and they
are loaded and displayed as thumbnails.
