- Short: Shows JPEG pics. (68k + PPC support)
- Uploader: markus.adamski@cww.de (Markus Adamski)
- Author: markus.adamski@cww.de (Markus Adamski)
- Type: gfx/show
- Version: 0.9beta1
- Requires: Cybergraphics V40+, M68020+, optional a PowerPC, OS3.0+.
-
- This is the first beta release of my JPEG image viewer. It probably only works on
- a workbench with screen depth >8, but I didn't test that.
- Since it is beta software, there is no additional description than the following:
-
- It's FreeWare.
-
- Installation:
- =============
- Either copy 'FastView68K' or 'FastViewPPC#?' to where ever you like. Since it is
- designed as a commodity, the WBStartup drawer would be a good place, but I haven't
- tested yet, if the .elf file is handled correctly, that means being ignored.
-
- Usage:
- ======
- Either start it from Shell or by a double click on it's icon.
- When started first you need the commodity 'Exchange' or something similar to
- open the preferences window:
-
- Popup prefs keys : Type in the key combination you like to use to open this window,
- for example "lshift lalt j" (without the '"').
-
- Popup loader keys : Some as above to open an asl requester where you can select the
- image(s) to load.
-
- Initial drawer : Type in the drawer to be used for the file requester or
- press the underscored key to pop up a requester where you can
- choose a drawer.
-
- Output window type: "Scale" -- Image will be resized to actual window's dimensions.
- "Scroll" -- Scroll the image within it's window.
- "Ask" -- You will be asked what window type used every time.
-
- Buttons:
- "Save" : Saves the preferences to the FastView's icon file. if there is
- none, a default icon will be created.
-
- "Use" : Use preferences without saving them.
-
- "Cancel": Restore preferences to last "Used"/"Saved".
-
- The menu is self-explanatory (I hope).
-
- You can load as many images as you want, as long as you have enough memory.
- Memory usage, especially while loading/decoding is high !
-
- Important:
- ====
- * If you find bugs, let me know !!!
- * If you want to see additional features, let me know too. (Well, of course...)
-
- Todo (in no particular order):
- ====
- * Improved window refreshing
- * Localization
- * Much improved preferences
- * AGA support
- * Installer
- * Better documentation
- * <you name it>
-
- Enjoy it (hopefully).
