About Commander
---------------
One of the drawbacks of many programs is the lack of a customizable
user interface. Functions, such as ARexx scripting and plug-ins, often
have to be started via file requesters or multi-level menus. This
approach can slow down your workflow - and often hinder your creative
energy.
ImageFX, for example, lacks a customizable (or updated) command
interface. When new modules/hooks scripts are added to the program
(home-made, pd, shareware, or commerical) you're required to select
those functions through a file requester or other means. This can slow
down the creative process. Commander is the solution to that problem.
Features
--------
- Can control any program that has an ARexx command set. A "GENERIC"
demo is available to demonstrate Commander's capabilities regardless
of what application you want to use it with. If you have an
application that you would like to see Commander support for, please
let us know.
- Commander is currently available for: ImageFX. See special features
below.
- Extensive customization allows the user to design multiple
interfaces for all kinds of different approaches to working.
Just about everything is customizable, including: layout, fonts,
gadgets, colors, images, etc.
- Openable on any public screen. Can be run multiple times on the same
screen and/or on different screens, each with a different or same GUI.
- Can control more than one application from one GUI.
- GUIs are designed external to the main program. This minimizes memory
requirements and increases the interface speed.
- Includes useful examples and tutorials to get you started. Example
files can be modified to meet your needs, or new interfaces can be
created.
ImageFX Features
----------------
- Works with any version of ImageFX under WB2.x or higher.
- Full control of ImageFX via it's ARexx command set. Now you can have
immediate access to all those extra hooks and effects that aren't part
of the standard ImageFX GUI.
- Commander can start automatically when ImageFX starts. Quitting
Commander can also quit ImageFX.
- Can be run multiple times on different screens, for multiple
simultaneous iterations of ImageFX.
What Will Commander Do?
-----------------------
Commander allows you to customize your own GUI for supported
applications, giving you the ability to directly access your favourite
ARexx commands, scripts, and plug-ins in a way that works best for you.
If you use a large screen (1280x1024) you may wish to have numerous
independently movable panels of grouped commands. If you use a smaller
display (640x400) you may prefer to have a page flipping type
interface. Or you may want to have multiple configurations for
different kinds of workflow. Commander can do it all.
What Won't Commander Do?
------------------------
Commander won't help you to be creative, but it will help your creative
flow by avoiding the hinderance of a cumbersome GUI.
Requirements
------------
- WB 2.x+
- Text editor
- A supported application (see above)
