- Short: a program to manage all your pictures
- Type: disk/cdrom
- Author: m_hillen@informatik.uni-kl.de
-
- A. Just a description how to configure the program:
-
- 1. via ToolTypes:
- GIF = program to call for viewing GIF pictures
- JPG = program to call for viewing GIF pictures
- OTHER = program to call for viewing GIF pictures
- (%s will be replaced by the picture´s name)
-
- 2. via ENV-variables
- MCDPics_G = the same as GIF in tooltypes
- MCDPics_J = the same as JPG in tooltypes
- MCDPics_O = the same as OTHER in tooltypes
-
- Every ENV-variable will overwrite the value of a tooltype, so you can even
- configure the program if it is installed on a write-protected disk, i.e.
- a CD-ROM.
-
-
- B. Format of the data files:
-
- 1. All data files must be located in a subdirectory called 'CDS'.
-
- 2. First you have to give the root of your path:
-
- ROOT
- CD0:
- END
-
- Note: Before CD0: you must enter a TAB, no space.
-
- 3. Then you define the categories:
-
- CATEGORIES
- xx
- yy
- ...
- END
-
- Note: Before xx you must enter a TAB, no space.
-
- 4. Then you must define the directory names belonging to every category:
-
- CALLS
- xx-dir
- yy-dir
- ...
- END
-
- Note: Before xx-dir you must enter a TAB, no space.
-
- 5: Now you define the pictures for every category:
-
- xx-dir
- pic1
- description.1
- pic2
- description.2
- ...
- yy-dir
- picx
- description.x
- picy
- description.y
- picz
- description.z
- ...
-
- Note: Before pic.. you must enter a TAB, no space.
- You need not enter END here.
-
- Just have a look at the files in CDS, and you will understand how it
- works.
-
-
- C. Description of 'MakeNewDatabase'
-
- This tool allows you to easily create a new database for the program.
- You can scan directories which must be organized this way:
-
- 1. All pictures must be placed in subdirectories.
- 2. only one depth of subdirs is allowed, a subdir of a subdir
- won´t cause trouble, but no pics will be recognized.
- 3. All files must be pictures, other files are added too.
-
- Anyway you can try out the script; it will create something useful, or
- you may throw it away and create your database by hand.
-
- CAUTION: If the script doesn´t work, please have a look at the protection
- bits of the file 'script.2'; there must appear an 's'. If there
- is no 's', just type in your shell: 'protect script.2 s add',
- and everything should work fine.
-
- D. The program DTShow
-
- This program uses datatypes.library to view pictures. You'll need OS3.0
- and the monitor drivers 'SUPER72' and 'EURO72' and 'MULTISCAN' installed.
- Special Feature: Small pics will be shown in the middle of a screen!!!
