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, 24-Bit, DCOL ) · GIF (87a, 89a) · JPEG (1) · 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 · Amiga DATATYPES (picture class) 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 internal supported 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. ---------- Footnote ---------- (1) ImageDesk needs the "Tower JPEG Codec Class" from Christoph Feck for its JPEG support. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 16611 6468 61.0% 13-Mar-96 21:06:00 +Anleitung.txt 562 288 48.7% 14-Mar-96 21:34:44 +Anleitung.txt.info 3779 1487 60.6% 13-Mar-96 20:59:20 +AUTOCAT1.IDesk 11361 2457 78.3% 03-May-96 20:35:14 +AUTOCAT2.IDesk 16000 907 94.3% 27-May-96 10:50:18 +Command.cat.10 27670 1229 95.5% 27-May-96 10:50:18 +Command.cat.12 27670 1230 95.5% 27-May-96 10:50:18 +Command.cat.15 562 289 48.5% 14-Mar-96 21:34:44 +Instructions.doc.info 7318 561 92.3% 27-May-96 10:50:18 +Command.cat.6 16000 903 94.3% 27-May-96 10:50:18 +Command.cat.8 15878 5986 62.3% 13-Mar-96 21:05:36 +Instructions.doc 41620 24099 42.0% 17-Nov-93 19:13:56 +LHEX 1290 571 55.7% 06-Jun-96 20:59:28 +Install.Deutsch.info 1290 566 56.1% 06-Jun-96 20:59:28 +Install.English.info 12336 2985 75.8% 06-Jun-96 20:31:30 +installID 425171 425171 0.0% 06-Jun-96 20:58:36 +instdata.lha 1291 565 56.2% 06-Jun-96 20:59:28 +Install.Italiano.info 3020 1171 61.2% 01-Apr-96 22:24:46 +Import_PS.dok 548 276 49.6% 02-May-96 15:04:44 +Import_PS.dok.info 2485 986 60.3% 02-May-96 14:58:40 +Import_PS1.IDesk 2323 947 59.2% 02-May-96 14:59:10 +Import_PS2.IDesk 1711 768 55.1% 02-May-96 14:59:26 +Import_PS3.IDesk 555 289 47.9% 30-Dec-94 21:43:00 +Install.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 7900 5371 32.0% 19-Dec-94 16:15:26 +tower.library 442 282 36.1% 19-Dec-94 16:15:22 +ReadMe 433 216 50.1% 30-Dec-94 21:43:00 +ReadMe.info 628 272 56.6% 06-Jun-96 20:38:14 AutoCat.info 628 268 57.3% 06-Jun-96 20:59:28 ImageDesk.info 628 267 57.4% 06-Jun-96 20:38:14 Import_PS.info 628 269 57.1% 06-Jun-96 20:38:14 JPEG Codec.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 723987 528156 27.0% 17-Jun-96 15:26:40 34 files
