~4Dgifts/toolbox/src/apps/ibrowse README
This directory contains source and executables for "ibrowse", a simple
image file browser, version 1.2.2.
"ibrowse" lets the user view all the images in a directory as postage-
stamp sized icons in a scrollable window. Moving the cursor over an
icon displays information about that file. Double-clicking on an icon
will display the image at full size. A simple pop-up menu allows
navigating through different directories of the file system.
After iconifying the images for the first time, ibrowse saves the icons
and file information in two files, .ibrowse_dir and .ibrowse_icon, in
each directory. The next time the directory is browsed, the icons are
displayed very quickly.
The action ibrowse takes when an icon is double-clicked can be easily
customized, making ibrowse a very flexible tool. Read ibrowse.doc for
more information. The script "open_script" is an example of one such
complex action.
ibrowse is easily extensible to handle several different image formats.
The executable "ibrowse" in this directory recognizes SGI (Haeberli)
format .rgb and colorindex images. "ibrowse.il" also recognizes
ImageLib format images, which includes the TIFF and FIT formats. The
source for these executables, as well as more detailed documentation,
is in the directory "src".
