ImageIOLibraryPrefs is a preferences program for imageio.library.

After running ImageIOLibraryPrefs, you can use the GUI to control specific
features of imageio.library.

The Temporary Storage group allows you to select where imageio.library will
store temporary files. The decode directory is where temporary files for
image decoding are stored (uuencoded and base64 encoded). The memory stream
directory is where temporary files used during memory stream processing are
stored. If you are unssure as to what to set these to, leave the defaults
turned on (the default directory is T:).

The option "Allow decoding" permits imageio.library to decode single part
uuencoded files or base64 encoded files such as those retrieved from an
NNTP news server and treat them as normal files. Loading times are slightly
longer for files that need to be decoded as the files must be decoded
before being loaded.

Using the remaining check boxes, you can dis/enable the internal loading
options of imageio.library. For exmaple if you have a PPC or prefer to
load jpeg files with a datatype, you can disable the internal jpeg.library
support of imageio.library. This means that instead of using jpeg.library
to load jpeg files, imageio.library will fall through to datatype support
to load that file format. If you turn off all the internal loading options,
imageio.library can not load any images.
