This button has two states, and will select a NTSC or a PAL display mode.
\endnode
\node "ms_autocat"
\title "Auto Catalog"
\next "ms_cattitle"
\prev "ms_ntscdisplay"
This will automatically add a file to the catalog. The file must be loaded
using the \{ \ts i \tc 10 File I/o \} panel's \{ \ts i \tc 10 Load Image File
\} option.
\endnode
\node "ms_cattitle"
\title "Catalog Title"
\next "ms_gbl"
\prev "ms_autocat"
This allows you to specify the current catalog's title.
\endnode
\node "ms_gbl"
\title "Graphic Buffer List"
\next "ms_imgpath"
\prev "ms_cattitle"
This allows you to select options in the \{ \ts i \tc 10 Buffers \} panel
with \{ \ts i postage stamp \} images for the selections instead of just the
file names.
\endnode
\node "ms_imgpath"
\title "Image Path"
\next "ms_blendpath"
\prev "ms_gbl"
This text entry field allows you to specify the exact path that you would
like to save and load images to. You should use standard \{ ts i Amiga \}
path specifications.
\{ \ts b \tc 11 Example: \} dh0:hame/im/images
A trailing \{ \ts b / \} on the path is not required, but is acceptable.
\endnode
\node "ms_blendpath"
\title "Blend Path"
\next "ms_palettepath"
\prev "ms_imgpath"
This text entry field allows you to specify the exact path that you would
like to save and load blends to. You should use standard \{ ts i Amiga \}
path specifications.
\{ \ts b \tc 11 Example: \} dh0:hame/im/blends
A trailing \{ \ts b / \} on the path is not required, but is acceptable.
\endnode
\node "ms_palettepath"
\title "Palette Path"
\next "ms_macropath"
\prev "ms_blendpath"
This text entry field allows you to specify the exact path that you would
like to save and load palettes to. You should use standard \{ ts i Amiga \}
path specifications.
\{ \ts b \tc 11 Example: \} dh0:hame/im/palettes
A trailing \{ \ts b / \} on the path is not required, but is acceptable.
\endnode
\node "ms_macropath"
\title "Macro Path"
\next "ms_renderpath"
\prev "ms_palettepath"
This text entry field allows you to specify the exact path that you would
like to save and load macros to. You should use standard \{ ts i Amiga \}
path specifications.
\{ \ts b \tc 11 Example: \} rexx:
A trailing \{ \ts b / \} on the path is not required, but is acceptable.
\endnode
\node "ms_renderpath"
\title "Render Path"
\next "ms_imgext"
\prev "ms_macropath"
This text entry field allows you to specify the exact path that you would
like to save and load renderings to. You should use standard \{ ts i Amiga
\} path specifications.
\{ \ts b \tc 11 Example: \} dh0:myrenders
A trailing \{ \ts b / \} on the path is not required, but is acceptable.
\endnode
\node "ms_imgext"
\title "Image Extension"
\next "ms_blendext"
\prev "ms_renderpath"
This is defaulted to \{ \ts b .24 \} . The image extension can be altered to
what ever you may need.
\endnode
\node "ms_blendext"
\title "Blend Extension"
\next "ms_palette256"
\prev "ms_imgext"
This is defaulted to \{ \ts b .ipb \} . The blend extension can be altered to
what ever you may need.
\endnode
\node "ms_palette256"
\title "Palette 256 Extension"
\next "ms_renderext"
\prev "ms_blendext"
This is defaulted to \{ \ts b .pa8 \} . The palette extension can be altered
to what ever you may need.
\endnode
\node "ms_renderext"
\title "Render Extension"
\next "ms_macrokeyedit"
\prev "ms_palette256"
This will be defaulted to blank. There are many types of images that \{ \ts
b Imagemaster R/t \} can render, so you will want to specify this for each
different type of file.
\endnode
\node "ms_macrokeyedit"
\title "Macro Key Edit Prefix Contents"
\next "ms_startmacro"
\prev "ms_renderext"
This will allow you to edit the Editor invocation. This should not be
changed unless you understand how it works.
See Also: \{ \ts b \tc 15 \link "Edit Editor Invocation" "mm_hlp/mm_editinvocation" \}
\endnode
\node "ms_startmacro"
\title "Start Macro"
\next "ms_20filerequest"
\prev "ms_macrokeyedit"
This text entry field allows you to set one of the ten macros, in your
default macro file, to be executed when \{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t \} is
started. This is defaulted to zero unless you change it.
\endnode
\node "ms_20filerequest"
\title "2.0 File Requester"
\next "ms_svdefaults"
\prev "ms_startmacro"
This button, if selected, will bring up the \{ \ts b WB 2.0 \} file requester,
instead of \{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t\} 's file requester. You may find that
\{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t\} 's file requester is clearer and more flexible.
\endnode
\node "ms_svdefaults"
\title "Save Defaults"
\next "ms_lddefaults"
\prev "ms_20filerequest"
This will save any changes that you have made to \{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t\} 's
setup. The saved changes will then be implemented when ever the program
starts.
\endnode
\node "ms_lddefaults"
\title "Load Defaults"
\next "ms_usepublic"
\prev "ms_svdefaults"
This will load \{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t\} 's original default settings. It
is important to note that any settings that you have changed \{ \ts i will be
lost\} . You also have the option of loading another set of defaults that
you have previously saved.
\endnode
\node "ms_usepublic"
\title "Use Public Memory"
\next ""
\prev "ms_lddefaults"
This is selected by default. \{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t \} uses public memory
to get at its own images, and by doing this allows external PI modules access
to the same memory. It is important to remember that if this button is de-
selected the PI modules will not work.
Some virtual memory managers view memory that is to be virtual is \{ \ts b
not \} public. If the memory a program uses is not public, they will
allocate virtual memory. Since virtual memory is very useful for processing
large images, \{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t \} can be set not to use public
memory. Simply de-select this button, save your configuration, and restart
\{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t \} .
