Introduction:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ImageDesk is a program to catalog graphics archives by generating
small representations of pictures, so called thumbnails. Those
thumbnails are internally being expanded into objects which include
all essential data of its represented picture. These can be combined
into loadable and savable thumbnail catalogs in which XPK compression
is supported to reduce memory consumption on storage medias. The
catalogs are directory orientated, this means the pictures of all
included thumbnails are in the same directory path. the following
picture types are supported and will be recognized automatically:
* IFF ILBM (color mapped, EHB, HAM, HAM8, DEEP, DCOL )
* GIF (87a, 89a)
* JPEG (+)
* PCX (1 bit upto 32 bit)
* BMP (4,8 and 24 bit, OS/2 and Windows formats, unpacked only)
* PCD (upto BASE size)
* PNM (P4, P5 und P6)
* TARGA
The corresponding picture of a thumbnail object can be shown if
requested. Therefore two internal viewers, the window and the screen
viewer, exist for each above mentioned format. The latter are able to
view Images on CyberGraphics, Picasso or standard 8 bit screens, but
it is also possible to specify external viewers or AREXX programs
which ImageDesk will call on demand.

(+) ImageDesk needs the "Tower JPEG Codec Class" from Christoph Feck
for its JPEG support.
