Kudo For Windows Fast Start
To browse the image and media files on this CDROM install Kudo and open a
catalog:
1. Install Kudo from the opening screen that appears when you put the
CDROM into your computer or double click on STARTUP.EXE from the File
Manager/Explorer.
2. The Kudo files are installed into the Kudo folder of your hard disk and
shortcuts are created in the Windows Start Menu for Kudo and the Kudo catalog(s).
The catalogs stay on your CDROM and are opened from the Windows Start Menu.
3. Open a catalog, select a thumbnail image record and double right click to
view the original image file. Left click to open the image file in an associated
application such as Corel Draw or Photoshop. If no application is associated
with the image or multimedia file, the built in Kudo viewer will try to open the
original image.
4. Maximize the catalog window and click on the scroll bar to move through
the catalog.. Click on the Toolbar buttons to view the thumbnail images in
different sizes.
5. Position the cursor over the Riffle control (the
double-headed arrow with tick marks) in the lower right hand corner of the
Catalog Reader window. Click and hold the mouse button down over the Riffle
control to zip through the contents of the catalog. Using the Riffle control is
like pressing Play and Fast Forward or Reverse on a VCR to quickly move forward
or backward while watching the images flash by.
6. Click on the Find button on the Toolbar to search for image or multimedia
files in the catalog using text descriptors. The Name and Notes fields in the
Find dialog box can provide useful clues when searching for images. Many catalog
publishers also provide Keywords in the Notes field to assist in your search.
7. The results of search operations are presented as a found set of thumbnail
image records. Most Kudo catalog searches are visual browsing journeys, but text
searches can help to narrow the browsing range of image records. Select "Find
All" from the "Image" menu to display all of the thumbnail image records in the
catalog.
8. If you are using PageMaker, QuarkXPress, Word or other OLE 2.0 application,
select an image and drag it into the document window. Some applications require
you to place the image in the title bar of the document window. Kudo will find
the original image file and place it in that document.
9. Visit www.kudo.com to get your updated gratis copy of Kudo.
Kudo for Windows is a fast way to find, view, print and use digital images,
sounds, or movies. Kudo creates and reads catalogs that can contain thousands of
records of media files. Each record is made up of a thumbnail size image and
associated text fields which describe the media file. Think of each thumbnail as
a miniature representation of your original image, except that it takes up very
little memory and is formatted for easy distribution. Kudo catalogs are
distributed on CDROMs, computer networks and the Internet.
Kudo Catalog Reader will not make or update catalogs. Kudo Image Browser will
make new Kudo catalogs and a gratis version is available from www.kudo.com.
To run Kudo for Windows, you need a computer running Windows 3.x or Windows
95/NT with at least 16Mbytes of RAM and a color graphics card with at least
1MByte of VRAM.
