Subject: (CSAA) CatMake V1.18 Message-Id: Date: Sun, 31 Jul 1994 03:03:56 -0400 Status: RO TITLE CatMake V1.18 AUTHOR Rodja Adolph (ronnie@aworld.aworld.de) Snail Mail until August '94 : Rodja Adolph Goethestr. 7 40699 Erkrath / Germany P.O. box until AND after August '94 : Rodja Adolph-Wunderlich Postfach 105536 40046 Duesseldorf / Germany Phone/Voice(/FAX/Data) : +49-210-4449859 ONLY until 1st of August DESCRIPTION The "other" way to catalogize your picture-libraries by creating new images containing smaller representations (thumbnails) of a number of source images e.g. for use in BBS's or for raytracer's texture-libs.An ARexx script without fancy GUI,but with features that will allow you to fit all your needs.Very flexible and configurable if you really want it to.If not,then CatMake will suit you as well as it has meaningful default settings. For the advanced user CatMake allows you to write and incoporate personal ARexx-Scripts and to control almost anything of what it can do. Prefs are stored in an editable ASCII-File with lots of settings that can only be edited there (as you wont really want to set them up every time you use CatMake...Give it a try ;-) NEW FEATURES Many new features compared to V1.0 ! So many that it isnt possible to mention them here without writing a new docfile. Highlights include : - "Hooks" to implement external ARexx-Code at various execution points - optional headerstrings to entitle your catalogs - optional "ProccedOnError" will replace corrupt images with a special text-thumbnail showing a string (e.g. "Corrupted!") and leaving the filename to check the error after catalogizing - size and picturedepth may now be rendered under the filename (useful for catalogs with small thumbnails / long filenames) - custom order in addition to alphabetical sorting - Possibilty to call CatMake with argument line and thus running CatMake without ANY requester (except error-requesters) which allows you to fully automate catalogizing e.g. the bulletins of your Picture-BBS after any upload or so... - Wildcarding for in/excluding groups of files...Like *.info files from CD-ROMs... - (semi/full) Automatical recognition of LhAed and PowerPacked files with autodecrunching (LhA = first file) SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS - AmigaDOS 2.0+ - Art Department Professional 2.2+ (better : 2.30 or later) - ARexx HOST Aminet FTP sites (ftp.wustl.edu, ftp.luth.se, etc) DIRECTORY pub/aminet/gfx/misc FILENAME CatMake118.lha PRICE ShareWare, $10 reg. fee.
