Bug Reports

If SQLabel crashes on you, or doesn't print out correctly on your printer I'd like to hear about it.  Please make sure to include the following information to speed things up:

•	Operating System

•	Printer Type, Language(PCL, GDI, PS), Connection(network, local, etc)

•	Series of operations to cause failure (if it's repeatable)

Just mail your reports off to earle@ziplabel.com


cdrLabel

cdrLabel enables you to create catalog labels for all your CD-ROMs and CD-Recordables.  It has the same easy interface as SQLabel, but adds special features just for CDs, like multi-page booklet labels and music CD cataloging.

Comment Editor

Each label contains a single-line comment that may be hidden or shown.  This comment normally contains information about the disk free space and scan date, but is completely customizable.  Double click the comment text or use the Body->Edit Label Comment menu to bring up the editor.

There are three sections to this dialog, the editor where you can type a new comment, a line below that which shows how the entered comment will appear, and a series of macro buttons.

To set the label to a default comment, click the Default Data button.  This will give a handy summary of disk space free and used, as well as last scan date for your disks.

These macro buttons are very powerful, and may be used to automatically customize each label with your own comment line.

Comment Macros

The buttons on the bottom of the dialog insert macros, strings that will be replaced with calculated values automagically by the program.  Examine the comment in the shown dialog:

%spacefree% free, %spaceused% used  (%shortdate%)

And the sample line:

42.7M free, 451.2M used (7/1/98)

Note how the %spacefree% was replaced with the space free on the disk.  Here's what the macro buttons do:

Name	Description	Sample
Short Date	Shorthand date	(1/23/98)
Long Date	Longhand date	Monday, January 23, 1998
Space Free	Space available on disk	10.3M
Space Used	Space used by files on disk	87.9M
Files	Number of files scanned from disk	185
Folders	Number of directories scanned	32
% Free	Percentage of disk empty	20.4%
% Used	Percentage of disk used by files	82.0%


Exclude/Include Files

SQLabel allows you to specify either which files to ignore or only those to display thorough a simple to use dialog.  Bring it up by using the File->Exclude/Include Files menu item.

There are two ways of using this dialog, either in exclude or in include mode.  In exclude mode, when the Exclude radio button is selected, any filenames containing a string in the list will be removed from the label.  In include mode just the opposite occurs:  only filenames containing strings in the list will be displayed.

•	Choose which mode by using the two radio buttons, either exclude or include

•	Add a string by entering it in the area and clicking Add

•	Remove one string by clicking on it and selecting "Remove," or

•	Remove all strings with the "Remove All" button

Note:	The strings entered may not contain any special wildcard characters, i.e. there is no need to put "*.TXT", instead use ".TXT"


Files And Folders
Files and Folders Editor

SQLabel contains a graphical file and folder editor window.  Bring it up by using the Body->Edit Files and Folders menu or the [image] toolbar button.

The window is divided into two sections, a graphical tree representation of every file and folder displayed on your label; and a column of action buttons.

•	Double-clicking on a directory will open or close it.

•	Select a file with the mouse and use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change it's position in the list.   Note, however, that you can only rearrange a file in it's own directory.

•	Remove files you don't want to see on your label by the Delete button.  This will only change your label, and will not delete the file from your disk.

•	Click where you'd like to insert a file and select the Add button to insert a new file.

Double-clicking on a file, or selecting the Change button will bring up an editor window allowing you to change it.

•	The name and size sections of this new dialog are self explanatory.

•	The comment section is the 16-character string that normally contains a text representation of a file's size.  (i.e. a file of 12,612 bytes has a comment of 12K).

•	Use the Align combo-box to change an item's alignment in the column of files.


FlpLabel

FlpLabel is a utility for creating sticky-labels for 3.5" disks.  It has the same easy interface as SQLabel, but adds special features just for floppies.  Don't throw out your old disks, label them!

Download your copy of FlpLabel today from the following web page:

Fonts and Colors

SQLabel supports customizing file display on a per-extension basis, through the use of the Fonts and Colors window. Use this window to change the fonts of files you want to stand out.  For example, a programmer could make all .C files green, all .CPP files blue, and all .JAVA files red.  Bring this window up by using the Body->Set Fonts and Colors menu or the [image] toolbar button.

The first four items in this list are fixed as Files, Folders, Comment, and Spine.

•	Customize the fonts and colors used for all files and folders with the first two items, the comment line with the third, and the spine with the fourth.

Add additional file extensions by typing their extension in the edit box and clicking the Add button.

•	The extension will be added to the list, with it's font and color the same as normal files.

•	Use the color picker window to select a new color.

•	Or, select the newly added extension and click the Font button to change it's font.

The Copy from Files or Copy from Folders duplicates the standard file or folder color and font into the currently selected extension.


Help Dialogs

SQLabel can display helpful hints when certain operations are performed, such as selecting a new drive or changing directory scanning levels.  Below is an example of a dialog that appears when the drive is changed:

This dialog has a text box, containing the information SQLabel has for the user, two different options, and a "Don't Show This Hint Again" checkbox.  Once the checkbox is selected the dialog will no longer appear until all help dialog boxes are reset.

•	If you don't want any help dialog boxes to appear simply select Help->Help Dialogs->Hide All Dialogs.

•	Conversely, use Help->Help Dialogs->Show All Dialogs to display all help boxes again.


How Do I
How Do I…

How do I make a label as fast as possible, with the least fuss?

Use this program!  Just double-click on the label and the program will scan your disk.

The program isn't displaying anything after a period (.).  How do I change this?

You've got the Show Extensions menu option unchecked, and the program is hiding them.  Check the Body->Show Extensions item.

How do I make the program scan my entire disk and not just the root directory?

Use the File->Directory Levels option and select how many levels you want to scan.  Be aware that scanning disks with many levels can take a long time.

How do I add a background picture of my baby/dog/girlfriend to my label?

Use the Add Image button in the toolbar, select a .BMP or .JPG of your tiny/furry/cute friend.  You'll see the picture appear in the center of the label.  Finally, right-click on the image and select Make Background.

I have a LOT of files.  How can I catalog them all?

You've got several options:

•	Use a larger label format via File->Label Format

•	Increase the number of columns, possibly turning off extensions or file sizes

•	Change the font for directories and folders to something smaller

•	Hide directories you don't need to see

The program keeps reading my hard drive!  How can I make it scan the correct drive?

Use the File->Select Drive option.

How do I move a tiny image or string?

Hold down the SHIFT key when you're working with a block that's very small to tell the program you want to move the image or string, not resize it.

How do I make rotated text print properly on my Brother Laser printer?

Your printer's driver doesn't handle rotated text properly.  Tell it to let Windows to handle rotated fonts by checking the Download TrueType Fonts as Graphics from the printer's control panel.

How do I make certain types of files stand out?

Use the Fonts and Colors window to add pizzazz to special file types by changing their fonts or colors.  For example, you could make all your source files (.C, .H) green and all your executables (.EXE, .DLL) blue.

How do I move the label's position on the printed page?

Use the File->Print Setup menu, and uncheck the Default Position box and enter X and Y offsets for the upper-left-hand corner of the label.

How do I thank you for this neat program?

Email me with suggestions for additions or improvements, and register.


Images
Adding Images

SQLabel can import .BMP (Windows Bitmap) and .JPG (JPEG) files into your labels. GIF files are not currently supported, nor will they be due to Unisys's patent and licensing restrictions.

Simply select Body->Insert Image or the [image] toolbar button to bring up a file selector.  Choose your image and it will appear centered on your label.

To select an image in your label, left-click on it.  Click-and-drag to move the label around.  Right-click to bring up a menu of options to delete, center, or change the image's position relative to the text.  Above Label makes the text flow around the image, while On Label and Below Label place an image without text wrapping.

To set a photo the background for the current page, just select Image->Make Background.  Remember that with a dark image it's easiest to see white text, and with a light image it's easiest to see dark text.

Use the little size-blocks to change an image's size, or use the Image popup-menu's scaling options.

HINT:	If you are having trouble dragging a tiny image, hold down the SHIFT key while you click the left button.  This turns off the size-blocks and always drags an image.

Bitmaps of greater than 72dpi are supported automatically, so you can scan an image in at a higher resolution than the screen supports, yet still print out at the higher resolution.  This is especially useful for line art, where 72dpi conversion can cause excessive jaggies.

Ordering
Ordering SQLabel

SQLabel is shareware; after the initial evaluation period a $15.00 registration fee is requested.  If SQLabel isn't useful to you, or you find some important features lacking, feel free to email me at earle@ziplabel.com.

It's easiest to register online from the Help->Online Registration, or use the following hyperlink:

http://order.kagi.com/?4VG

If you would rather snail-mail your registration just use the Help->Order Form menu item to print out a paper registration form.

Registered Users Receive

•	A registration code that can be entered into the Registration dialog.  This code will remove the random nag screen on printouts, as well as allow customization of the initials.

•	Registration will be good for all future releases of SQLabel.

•	Addition to the mailing list for new releases and betas.  Your contact information will not be distributed outside of ZipLabel.com.

•	A warm, fuzzy feeling for supporting the shareware concept.


Printer Setup

Set your printer and output options with the printer setup dialog.  Bring it up via the File->Printer Setup menu:

Border	Use this popup to determine how SQLabel should outline your labels.  If you are using a paper cutter, you can turn off the border and turn on crop marks for a neat, borderless label.

Crop Marks	Crop marks are 1 inch lines along the edge of the sheet indicating where cuts need to be made.  These are especially handy for use with paper  cutters.  These marks only appear on the printed output.

Space Labels	If you have trouble cutting out labels with a shared edge, use this option to give you a small gap between multiple labels per page.

Printer	SQLabel interrogates the currently selected printer to determine the size of fonts, graphics capabilities, and more.  To print to a non-default printer use this button to select it from the list.

Placement	Specify the upper-left-hand corner of printouts yourself using these boxes, making it easy to use different paper sizes and perforated templates.  When the Default checkbox is checked, the labels will be placed in the approximate center of the page.

New Page	When the New Page option is checked, the back label will be printed on a separate sheet of paper than the front


Getting Started

It's as easy as 1…2…3 to make your first label using SQLabel!

1.	If you haven't already selected your SyQuest drive using the File->Select SyQuest Drive menu, do that now.

2.	Insert the disk you want to catalog.

3.	Double-click the on-screen label and you've got a basic label, like this one:

Wasn't that easy?  Now that you've scanned your disk into the label, you can have fun adding pictures and text, changing the fonts and colors, or just printing and admiring it!

Let's add an image to your label, it's also as easy as 1…2…3!

1.	Click the [image] toolbar button.

2.	Select the image (either BMP or JPEG format) from the file dialog.

3.	Click-and-drag to move the image to it's final position:

Once your label is perfect, print it by using the [image] toolbar button.  Cut it out, slip it into your disk's plastic case, and show off to your friends.

This is just a tiny sample of SQLabel's capabilities.  Explore on your own or use this help file to get more information about additional cool features.


String Editor
Adding Strings

SQLabel allows the insertion of multiple-line strings anywhere on the label.  Up to 8,192 characters per string are allowed, and every feature of the string can be customized.  Bring up the string editor by double-clicking on a string or create a new string via the String->Insert String menu or [image] toolbar button.

Note:	Whenever you make a change to a string you can immediately see how it looks on your label by clicking the Apply button.  You can also click the Apply button in any font or color pickers that appear from this window.

The largest part of this window consists of an area for entering the text of your string.  Type or paste up to 8,192 characters into this box.

Customize your string's appearance by using the other controls in this window.

•	The two popup boxes, Horizontal and Vertical, control the alignment of your string within it's bounding box.

•	Change the string's font, color, and background with the buttons along the bottom.

•	Rotate the string in 90 degree increments with the orientation popup menu.

To have the program automagically size the string to fit all text without cutting any off, check the Auto Size checkbox.  Unchecking this box will allow you to stretch the string's bounding box manually.

The Default button copies the current spine font and color to the string.


Subdirectory Selector

SQLabel allows you to choose which directories it shows and which it hides with the Subdirectory Selector.  Bring it up by using the Body->Choose Subdirectories menu option or the [image] toolbar button.

•	Double-click on a directory to open or close it.

•	Closed directories contents are not shown.

•	Use the Open All button to open up every folder

•	Use the Close All to close every folder.

Note:	If you want to actually delete folders, and files, use the Files and Folders Editor.


Templates

A template is a small text file created by SQLabel that contains all formatting information for a label.  It allows you to add and delete files from a disk while preserving the label's appearance between runs of SQLabel.  If you're going to be updating the contents of a disk frequently they can save you lots of time. However, if you are scanning a label that isn't going to change often then save it normally via File->Save.

Templates store the following information:

•	General format, including font and colors

•	Images and Strings

•	Directories displayed/hidden

This is enough information for SQLabel to create a new label when files are added or removed.  Best of all, these files won't take up much disk space (normally under 5Kb)!

Using Templates

It's easy and fast to start using templates for your disks:

1.	First, select the File->Use Templates.  This will make SQLabel search for a hidden file, "SQLabel.?LT", on each disk it scans and read it's formatting.

2.	Now, insert your disk and read it in.  Set the font, directory tree, and the images you want and select File->Write Template.  If prompted, save it in the root directory of your drive.

3.	The next time SQLabel reads in the disk with your saved template, it will automatically format it the way you specified.

I use templates on all my disks, and it's saved me countless hours of tweaking!


Special Thanks

Thanks to the beta testers who tested the program with their own strange computer configurations.

The JPEG decoding routines are taken from JPEG-6a sources, and they'd like me to say: "this software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group."  These guys make no warranty as to their JPEG decoder, and neither do I!

Greg Kochaniak is the author of the registration utility Kagi uses, and he's kind enough to give it away to all of us authors.

Thanks to all the registered users for their feedback and support.  Keep the suggestions and bug reports coming in!


Using the Printed Label

Cut out the label, it should be pretty obvious where to cut and where to fold.  Slip the label into your case.  Admire just how cool it looks, and then go make some more!

If you have access to a paper cutter you can add crop marks to the printed output to make it easier for you to cut.

Try using some colored, heavy-bond copier paper.  Packs of 5 colors can be bought at any office supply store, and make it very easy to classify your disks (i.e. RED for backups, GREEN for games, etc.)!


Working With Labels

SQLabel supports two different label formats:  single, and booklet.  Both allow you to specify the order in which file listings will appear.  Select a label format by using the File->Label Format menu.

You may zoom in or out of the label by using the [image] toolbar button.

Booklet Labels

If you've got a disk with too many files to fit on the front and back of a label, you can create a booklet label that will allow you to catalog all files.  Select File->Label Format->Booklet and you're almost done!

Catalog the disk as normal, and modify the pages to suit your liking.  Use the [image] buttons in the toolbar, or the PgUp/PgDn keys to navigate between your label's pages.  You can place images and strings anywhere, on any page.


ZipLabel

ZipLabel creates great looking labels for Iomega Zip disks.  Use it once and you'll be hooked!
