Short: PGS3 arexx script - view all pics in directory Author: mmerkel@rummelplatz.uni-mannheim.de (Michael Merkel) Uploader: mmerkel@rummelplatz.uni-mannheim.de (Michael Merkel) Type: text/dtp Replaces: text/dtp/PicCatalog207.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. DISTRIBUTION spread it! use it! _write me!_ REQUIREMENTS - PageStream3 (of course!!!) - Pictures! :-)) USAGE * copy this into your PageStream3:Scripts/ drawer * select "Play Script" in PageStream3 * loooook!!! HISTORY V1.00 (21. August 1996) * first public release V2.00 (26. August 1996) * implemented recursive scanning of directories * implemented direct printing of generated pages * you can now choose full filenames or short filenames for picturetitles * implemented dumpfile "T:PicCatalog.dumpfile" V2.01 - quick update (26. August 1996) * with PGS-ARexx "printdocument" the settings must be specified due to that now implemented a litte Printer Setting window. You can specify Color/Grayscale, Actual/FitToPage V2.02 (30. August 1996) * solved a little problem with errormessages (supressed now) * found a problem in PageStream3.1s iff-ilbm loader: If you own "ArtEffect" you _mustn't_ scan the directory "convolution"!! This will crash PageStream3.1 * filenames are shown in busy-requester now! * added pagenumber V2.03 (25. September 1996) * corrected the gadgets (labels) to the new format introduced with V3.2b6 of PGS * changed coordinate handling (SoftLogik changed that, too) V2.04 (26. September 1996) * coordinate handling changed again! (V3.2b8) Now PicCatalog sets the default measurement system to points during the work! After doing all pictures the measurement system is set to the one specified in the PageStream.prefs file! V2.05 (06. Oktober 1996) * changed the way to specify the picture format to be loaded * added some new formats (tiff, eps, iffilus) (only use EPS for postscript) V2.06 (11. Oktober 1996) * NEW FEATURE: PicCatalog now can handle - tataaa - PageStream3-Documents! (it shows the first page of a documentfile as a thumbnail!) * maybe a bit faster now V2.07 (12. Oktober 1996) * redesigned the type prefs because of to much gadgets (only 10 are allowed in a requester) * now PicCatalog supports almost all the bitmap/vector formats supported by PageStream3 * changed the prefs file! you *must* reset your prefs. -> PicCatalog will show you... V2.08 (16. Oktober 1996) * changed the prefs format again (sorry :)) now it's *much* easier for me to add new filetypes (but there are no more...:() (and the script is 2kb smaller now!) * maybe a *little* bit faster when scanning? * changed interface from "left/../bottom gap" to "page offsets" V2.09 (24. Oktober 1996) * PicCatalog2.08 didn't work with PageStream3.1/3.2 final (document thumbnails) (stupid bug... it took 5 hours to find it! - now it's working again) AUTHOR michael merkel mmerkel@rummelplatz.uni-mannheim.de http://rummelplatz.uni-mannheim.de/~mmerkel/ (here you will find the newest version of PicCatalog) THANKS TO SoftLogik for this wonderful program!
