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 (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. ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) ImageDesk needs the "Tower JPEG Codec Class" from Christoph Feck for its JPEG support. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 562 288 48.7% 14-Mar-96 21:34:44 +Anleitung.txt.info 16000 875 94.5% 09-Mar-96 20:38:12 +Command.cat.10 27670 1175 95.7% 09-Mar-96 20:38:16 +Command.cat.12 27670 1177 95.7% 09-Mar-96 20:38:22 +Command.cat.15 7318 543 92.5% 09-Mar-96 20:38:28 +Command.cat.6 16000 874 94.5% 09-Mar-96 20:38:30 +Command.cat.8 15878 5986 62.3% 13-Mar-96 21:05:36 +Instructions.doc 562 289 48.5% 14-Mar-96 21:34:44 +Instructions.doc.info 16611 6468 61.0% 13-Mar-96 21:06:00 +Anleitung.txt 3779 1487 60.6% 13-Mar-96 20:59:20 +AUTOCAT1.IDesk 11367 2463 78.3% 13-Mar-96 21:00:28 +AUTOCAT2.IDesk 41620 24099 42.0% 17-Nov-93 19:13:56 +LHEX 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 11076 2824 74.5% 14-Mar-96 17:26:30 +installID 550139 550139 0.0% 14-Mar-96 17:30:14 +instdata.lha 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 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 628 273 56.5% 14-Mar-96 21:34:44 AutoCat.info 628 270 57.0% 14-Mar-96 21:31:10 ImageDesk.info 628 269 57.1% 14-Mar-96 21:31:10 JPEG Codec.info 1224 858 29.9% 19-Dec-94 16:15:26 +codec.class -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 835695 647794 22.4% 14-Mar-96 00:24:44 27 files
