It attempts to read the image file and then update the image element with the images width and height. The image elements within HTML documents don't have to have the sizing information contained within them. However, by including these attributes the browser will know the correct size of the image and therefore it can set aside the required space within the document before it has loaded the image. This is desirable because it saves time and means that the browser doesn't have to reformat the display once it obtains the full image. Also the layout of the page looks a lot better when the user has turned image loading off, because the browser will still set aside the correct space within the document. Once you've created a HTML document (or many documents for that matter) you can then use this program to look through the file(s) and insert all the sizing information into the image elements. This saves you the trouble of remembering/working out the sizes of all your images. The image elements within a HTML document look something like this... @{FG HIGHLIGHT}My Web Page@{FG TEXT} After processing with AddImageSize, the image element would look something like this.... @{FG HIGHLIGHT}My Web Page@{FG TEXT} @ENDNODE @NODE DISTRIBUTION "Disclaimer & Distribution" @{CODE}@{JCENTER}@{FG SHINE}Add Image Size @{FG TEXT}Version : @{FG HIGHLIGHT}1.04 @{FG TEXT}Release Date : @{FG HIGHLIGHT}20 August 1997.@{FG TEXT} @{JLEFT} @{BG FILL} @{BG BACK} @{JCENTER}@{FG HIGHLIGHT}@{B}DISCLAIMER@{UB} @{FG TEXT}@{BODY}@{JLEFT}The entire risk as to the quality and performance of this program is with you.

I recommend that you put it somewhere within your search path, otherwise you'll have to use it's full pathname to run it. @ENDNODE @NODE HOWTOUSE "How to use the program" @{CODE}@{JCENTER}@{FG SHINE}Add Image Size @{FG TEXT}Version : @{FG HIGHLIGHT}1.04 @{FG TEXT}Release Date : @{FG HIGHLIGHT}20 August 1997.@{FG TEXT} @{JLEFT} @{BG FILL} @{BG BACK} @{BODY} @{FG SHINE}AddImageSize@{FG TEXT} is a CLI only program. It has the following template. @{FG HIGHLIGHT}FILE/A,NOBACKUP/S@{FG TEXT} @{FG HIGHLIGHT}FILE@{FG TEXT} - Must be specified, and can be any standard AmigaDOS filename/pathname. It can include AmigaDOS pattern matching characters. @{FG HIGHLIGHT}NOBACKUP@{FG TEXT} - Normally AddImageSize makes a backup copy of each file it processes. It does this by creating a file, with the original name and appending ".bak" to it. If you trust this program completely and don't want your files backed up then specifing the @{FG HIGHLIGHT}NOBACKUP@{FG TEXT} option will stop AddImageSize from creating these backup files. @{BG TEXT}@{FG SHINE}USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!@{FG TEXT}@{BG BACK} So, for example, if you want to process just one file in your current directory then you'd use the following command in a shell... @{FG SHINE}AddImageSize Index.HTML@{FG TEXT} If you want all the files with a ".HTML" extension processed, and you didn't want any backup files then you'd use the following... @{FG SHINE}AddImageSize #?.HTML NOBACKUP@{FG TEXT} This would process all the ".HTML" files in the current directory. You can specify the full pathname for the files. However each image file within the document is loaded relative to the current directory. So if your current directory was DH1: and you execute the command... @{FG SHINE}AddImageSize DH1:WebPages/Index.HTML@{FG TEXT} All the images would be read relative to DH1:, so if the Index.HTML file contained the following element... @{FG SHINE}My Web Page@{FG TEXT} The program would attempt to read the Image from DH1:Logo.GIF rather than DH1:Projects/Logo.GIF. Therefore it is necessary to make sure that the current directory is set correctly before you process the files. (I may change this in a future update.) @ENDNODE @NODE HISTORY "Program History" @{CODE}@{JCENTER}@{FG SHINE}Add Image Size @{FG TEXT}Version : @{FG HIGHLIGHT}1.04 @{FG TEXT}Release Date : @{FG HIGHLIGHT}20 August 1997.@{FG TEXT} @{JLEFT} @{BG FILL} @{BG BACK} @{FG SHINE}01.04@{FG TEXT} - 20/08/97 @{FG HIGHLIGHT}--+ First Public Release +--@{FG TEXT} @{FG SHINE}01.03@{FG TEXT} - 18/08/97 Added stats display.
