- in your ImageDesk directory with either "ImageDesk.000" or
- "ImageDesk.020" from the temporary directory.

- 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.

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