1. What does the Script ?
The reason why it is only a simple DOS - Script, is that I am no programmer.
But I think that it does its very well :)
Well, the script watches the related Drawer(s) on eventually recognized files that
are saved it this directory.
It doesn't have to be only graphic-files, this can be every filetype wich have a suffix.
If the script finds a file you will be prompted on the V-screen, if you want to
view/play the file.
The programm which shows/views the file can be adjusted in the listing.
On my system I use >cybershow< for graphics and Xanim for Animations.
Both commands open their window on the V-screen.(they are available on the aminet,too)
It doesn't matter if the file was viewed or not, in both cases the file will be *moved*
to the corrensponding drawer, that it wouldn't be processed again.
2. Installation
The whole archive contains only of two important files, so I think it isn't
nessesary to write a own installations-script for this.
I recommend to copy the VoyView file in the S: directory and V.start to the
V. home-drawer.
After this it is nessesary to edit some lines in the VoyView file.
At line 17: VerzA
18: VerzB
19: Schirm
31: Typ
51: Typ
71: Typ (and so on...)
The meaning of the most important variables are shown in the script itself.
The last thing to do, is to edit the Path to V. in the V.start script.
3. Using VoyView
Simply double-click the V.start Icon or execute it by DOS-Command.
For my own I use Dopus 5 to replace the original workbench, from which you
can start V very handy, too.
V.start executes the VoyView script, set the stack and starts V.
If you exit from V, then the $ende variable will be set, which causes that
the VoyView script ends on its own.
I recommend to use a caching-software (f.e.DynamiCache) that the Harddisc
doesn't have to access all the time.
4. Miscellanous
First I have to say thanks to the developer of the Amiga for create the best
system of all time.
Then, it would be very nice, if I receive a message from every person who uses
VoyView, so I can see how much people use my programm.
Don't matter on which way you do that. (Letter, Postcard, E-Mail,...)
I would be grateful I you mail me some errors or ways to enhance the script.
