/* PPaint Amiga Rexx script - Copyright © 1995 Cloanto Italia srl */
/*
$VER: GifToPng.pprx 1.0
This script asks the user to specify a directory, scans the directory
and its subdirectories and converts all GIF files it finds into PNG.
Non-GIF files are not affected. Icon images are preserved. Icon format
information is updated (Tool Types: FILETYPE=PNG). GIF Author, Copyright
and Comment fields are translated to PNG equivalents. File name suffixes
are changed (i.e. the files are renamed) as follows:
.gif -> .png
.GIF -> .PNG
.Gif -> .Png, ecc.
others -> unchanged
Personal Paint identifies the file type by its contents (not by the file
name suffix). If the script runs during Workbench use, the Workbench Update
menu item must be selected to visually update the contents of any windows
containing files being renamed by this script.
This script requires Personal Paint version 6.3 (PPaint Rexx version 2)
or higher, personal_png_io.library (enclosed with PPaint), and
personal_gif_io.library (available via free electronic distribution).
Possible changes that could be applied to this file:
Convert all images to PNG (not just GIFs). To do this, change the line
selecting GIFs to IF UPPER(RESULT) ~= 'PNG' THEN DO. However, be careful
if you have IFF animations, as they can be loaded as ILBM images unless
they are filtered out (IFF animations begin with an ILBM image).
Activate PNG Adam 7 progressive display in files being written. This
degrades compression but the resulting images appear more nicely when
displayed by progressive viewers. Set PROGDSP=1.
Convert any file to uncompressed IFF-ILBM. This may be good for files to
be stored on an Amiga CD-ROM, where loading speed could be more important
than compression. Remove the instructions selecting only GIFs and replace
the PNG FORMAT option with FORMAT ILBM OPTIONS "COMPR=0" "SCRFMT=0".
PNG was designed as a replacement and extension to GIF and LZW-based TIFF,
after Unisys Corporation began demanding royalties on GIF/LZW code. As
the PNG specification was released in May 1995, it gained general
recognition as the best lossless standard for storing digital images.
Cloanto, the first software house to publish a paint program supporting the
PNG file format, is also making available a PNG developer's kit for the
Amiga. This includes instructions for using personal_png_io.library, and is
a commercial product. A PNG DataType is available at no cost for free
electronic distribution.
