Short: PGS3 arexx script - view all pics in directory Author: Michael.Merkel@gmx.net (Michael Merkel) Uploader: Michael.Merkel@gmx.net (Michael Merkel) Version: V3.11 (17. June 1998) Type: text/dtp Replaces: text/dtp/MUIPicCatalog.lha ABOUT This is an ARexx script for use with PageStream3. With this script you can specify a drawer. This selected drawer (and all its subdrawers and there subdrawers ...) is searched for pictures. These pictures are loaded and placed in PageStream3 as a PictureCatalog. If you want the generated pages will be printed or saved. DISTRIBUTION spread it! use it! _write me!_ REQUIREMENTS - PageStream3 (of course!!!) - MUI - MUIREXX V3.0!! - Pictures! :-)) USAGE * install it with the installer script * select "Play Script" in PageStream3 * loooook!!! HISTORY V3.00 (28. March 1997) * rewritten the GUI of PicCatalog to use MUI! Thanks to MUIREXX this was most of the time easy. Advantages: - much easier design of the prefs windows - no more restriction for gadgets - all the MUI advantages Disadvantages: - none (imho) +-------------------------------------------------------------+ |!Note: You *must* install MUI and MUIREXX properly! | |For installing MuiPicCatalog please use the installer script.| +-------------------------------------------------------------+ * disabled the PageStream-document loader because of crashes :-( V3.01 (15. April 1997) * PicCatalog checks the start page. Earlier versions crashed when started from the masterpage. * german umlauts not recognized when activated "skip..." * "do not scale" had no effect with fixed bitmaps - fixed V3.02 (20. April 1997) * uhoh! completely reworked the calculation of the thumbnail sizes! * now you can specify the weigth of the pageborder and the thumbnailborder * now you can specify the fontsize for the text written below the pageborder * implemented tab cycling! * MUIPicCatalog is now copied into T: before start. This speeds up canceling a bit. V3.03 (15. June 1997) * rewritten to use MUIRexx V3.0 --> YOU NOW *NEED* MUIREXX V3.0 TO RUN THIS <-- V3.04 (31. January 1998) * reimplemented the PageStream Document Loader. (no crashes here - but ...) [will be changed to the method "OverView.rexx" uses] * changed "SELECTTEXT AT ..." to "SELECTTEXT INOBJECT ..." * little code cleanup. * fixed little problem in PageStream Document Loader. * double click on a type now will (de)select it. * "quit" from menu did not enable the PageStream3 screen -> fixed * added menu shortcut for "quit" * some interface changes V3.05 (07. February 1998) * the sliders for the size were not set by the default prefs -> fixed * uuups... long standing bug! Within the PLACEGRAPHIC command i used PROGRESS as parameter. that's totally crap! now it's correct by using NOSTATUS. (resulted in hits when importing prodraw clips) * added prodraw clips recognition. only the first clip of a set is imported! (not possible to do more with arexx with the current version of pagestream3) V3.06 (08. March 1998) * added user definable inner sample space. per default the samples have a gap of 1pt from the top, bottom, left and right border of the surrounding box. now this is definable. * saving prefsfile on end is now choosable! (menu) * added loading and saving of prefsfiles! (menu) V3.07 (31. March 1998) * added a button to interface to get the master page sizes So no more need to insert the page borders manually 8-) V3.08 (04. April 1998) * added possibility to give standard amiga file and directory patterns for scanning! (directory patterns are only useful for the base directory! Subdirectories are NOT affected) * internal code cleanup V3.09 (05. April 1998) * important bug fix number 1: when loading the prefs the selected list entries were added twice! fixed! * important bug fix number 2 (long standing bug!): when calculating the thumbnail size the gap was used twice! this lead to a too big gap on the right of the catalog! (twice the given size) fixed! V3.10 (13. June 1998) * corrected EMail address V3.11 (17. June 1998) * color printing did not work (was always greyscale) -> fixed AUTHOR Michael Merkel (MiMe@IRC) Michael.Merkel@gmx.net (Michael Merkel) http://webrum.uni-mannheim.de/fht/mmerkel/www/index.html THANKS TO SoftLogik for this wonderful program!
