2. Copy the file "JPEGView" to wherever you would like it.
3. Copy the file "JPEGView JFIF Preview" into your Extensions folder; do this by dragging the icon on top of your system folder icon, and answering "OK" when the system asks if you want to place it in the Extensions folder.
4. If you are running with virtual memory, or will be in the future, open the "QuickTime VM" folder, and drag the file labelled "~QuickTime VM" into your Extensions folder as described above for the JFIF Preview file. You should restart your computer at this point.
5. Double-click the JPEGView icon and you're off!
PACKING CONTENTS
==================
The JPEGView 3.1 distribution comes with several important files:
In "JPEGView 3.1 ƒ"
-----------------
JPEGView — the JPEGView application itself; double-click this icon to launch JPEGView.
JPEGView JFIF Preview — a system extension that allows you to view JPEG/JFIF previews from within any application; to install this extension, either drag its icon on top of your System Folder icon, or manually place it inside your Extensions folder, and restart your computer. Now the JPEG/JFIF previews that JPEGView creates can be seen from within any QuickTime-aware application!
JPEGView AutoTyper — a simple drag-and-drop utility that changes the file creator signatures of dropped files to JPEGView; this means that in the future, when you double-click on the file's icon, it will automatically launch JPEGView. See the chapter on "File Formats and File Types" in the on-line help for a more detailed description. Note that you cannot run this application by double-clicking it; you need to drag one or more files on top of its icon.
Parrots.JPEG — a test JPEG image that shows off JPEGView's high-quality dithering routines; try viewing the image in 256 colors with quality normal and with quality high to see the improvements. You can also use this image to verify that you've installed the JPEGView JFIF Preview extension properly; if you can see the preview for Parrots.JPEG, everything is working properly.
Read Me 3.1! — the file that you're reading right now.
JPEGView 3.1 Blurb — this is a little blurb that briefly describes what's new to this latest version of JPEGView and what's so cool about JPEGView itself.
In "AppleScript samples"
----------------------
JPEGView Convert to PICT — an example AppleScript "droplet" (drag-and-drop utility) that uses AppleScript and JPEGView to perform batch conversions of any dropped JPEG files to PICT format, with previews, custom icons, and two-pass color reduction information saved in the PICT. Note that the AppleScript extension is *required* in order for this to work.
JPEGView Image Summary — another example AppleScript "droplet" which uses JPEGView and the Scriptable Text Editor to create a summary list of information about all the files you drag onto the JPEGView Image Summary icon. Note that the AppleScript extension is *required* in order for this to work.
In "QuickTime VM"
----------------
~QuickTime VM — the QuickTime VM extension, which makes using QuickTime under virtual memory much less painful. To install this extension, either drag its icon on top of your System Folder icon, or manually place it inside your Extensions folder, and restart your computer.
About QuickTime VM — information about the QuickTime VM extension, including important information you should know in case there are problems with other QuickTime applications.
