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. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1290 561 56.5% 24-Aug-95 18:41:44 +Install.Deutsch.info 1290 564 56.2% 24-Aug-95 18:41:44 +Install.English.info 9246 2369 74.3% 20-Aug-95 12:43:36 +installID 685 398 41.8% 30-Aug-95 07:40:44 +ImageDesk.020.info 532 281 47.1% 30-Aug-95 07:40:44 +ImageDeskD.guide.info 532 280 47.3% 30-Aug-95 07:40:42 +ImageDeskE.guide.info 562 285 49.2% 30-Aug-95 07:40:44 +CatDescription.info 459 249 45.7% 30-Aug-95 07:40:44 +ID_DefProjIcon.info 2988 1120 62.5% 30-Aug-95 07:40:44 +ID_DefProjIconMWB.info 685 399 41.7% 30-Aug-95 07:40:44 +ImageDesk.000.info 3700 1091 70.5% 30-Aug-95 07:40:42 +ImageDeskMWB.info 32992 12452 62.2% 24-Aug-95 20:23:46 +Aminet7_pix_Imagi.cat 109822 43842 60.0% 24-Aug-95 20:53:54 +Aminet7_pix_Real.cat 93806 42767 54.4% 24-Aug-95 21:44:10 +Aminet7_pix_Sport1.cat 97692 31148 68.1% 24-Aug-95 17:42:34 +ImageDeskD.guide 5776 3519 39.0% 20-Mar-95 16:13:52 +CATChPath 7624 4564 40.1% 15-Jul-95 21:04:14 +CATSort 9596 5634 41.2% 16-Jul-95 11:36:30 +CATSplit 103428 42069 59.3% 24-Aug-95 19:03:38 +Aminet7_pix_Trace.cat 296439 124168 58.1% 24-Aug-95 20:16:48 +Aminet7_pix_Vehic2.cat 10532 5787 45.0% 18-Aug-95 11:22:34 +CATJoin 9128 5394 40.9% 19-Mar-95 20:49:42 +CATList 7700 4599 40.2% 19-Mar-95 20:50:04 +CATRemEntry 7208 4316 40.1% 19-Mar-95 20:50:40 +CATRepack 775 370 52.2% 20-Aug-95 13:10:08 +Config.IDesk 243 145 40.3% 20-Apr-95 21:59:14 +DefaultExample.IDesk 225 112 50.2% 12-Apr-95 10:30:12 +Empty.IDesk 180 103 42.7% 15-May-95 13:36:18 +Empty2.IDesk 857 477 44.3% 20-Aug-95 13:22:06 +LoadCatFromOpus.IDesk 1414 496 64.9% 10-Aug-95 14:56:20 +MakeAmigaPlusNo1.IDesk 1925 591 69.2% 10-Aug-95 14:56:32 +MakeAnimazing.IDesk 4528 1547 65.8% 10-Jul-95 22:53:08 +CatDescription 719 381 47.0% 10-Aug-95 14:56:52 +MakePhotoCD.IDesk 960 529 44.8% 11-Jun-95 16:54:58 +ScanDirs.IDesk 1953 822 57.9% 10-Jul-95 16:31:24 +ScanSubDirs.IDesk 541 274 49.3% 05-Apr-95 22:13:44 +ViewLha.IDesk 1533 564 63.2% 11-Aug-95 10:05:16 +Bestellformular 562 287 48.9% 30-Aug-95 07:40:44 +Bestellformular.info 171660 78810 54.0% 20-Aug-95 11:47:04 +ImageDesk.000 163040 76867 52.8% 20-Aug-95 11:12:06 +ImageDesk.020 87798 27212 69.0% 24-Aug-95 11:03:34 +ImageDeskE.guide 1606 564 64.8% 11-Aug-95 10:04:12 +Orderform 562 286 49.1% 30-Aug-95 07:40:44 +OrderForm.info 1224 858 29.9% 19-Dec-94 16:15:26 +codec.class 69420 37643 45.7% 19-Dec-94 16:15:26 +jpeg.codec 1908 1368 28.3% 19-Dec-94 16:15:26 +picture.codec 3097 1143 63.0% 19-Dec-94 16:15:22 +Install 555 289 47.9% 30-Dec-94 21:43:00 +Install.info 433 216 50.1% 30-Dec-94 21:43:00 +ReadMe.info 628 272 56.6% 24-Aug-95 18:41:48 ImageDesk.info 628 266 57.6% 24-Aug-95 18:41:48 JPEG Codec.info 7900 5371 32.0% 19-Dec-94 16:15:26 +tower.library 442 282 36.1% 19-Dec-94 16:15:22 +ReadMe -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 1341028 576001 57.0% 30-Aug-95 15:21:12 53 files
