Several options are available to vary the presentation. Icons Added To Main User Interface - The user interface has acquired a few new icons to make it easy to be productive. These icons have been added to quickly create HTML files, and to save/load file lists. 'View Images' Window Rearranged - The buttons on this window have been moved around and grouped for easier use of functionality. JPG Images Can Be Created In The Source Directory - An option has been added to 'View Images' window allowing JPG images and thumbnail images to be created in the same directory where the source image is located. Demo Keys Do Not Have To Be Acquired - Prior to v2.12, a demo key had to be obtained by filling our a form on our web site. The key would then be emailed to the user. The user now has to select which version, regular or pro, before the application can be used. Internet Links To Various OSL Web Pages - These links have been added to assist you in obtaining updated information about Thumb Print, purchase information, and general information. Bug Fix Selecting A: drive When No Disk In Drive - This bug would only show up if you selected the A: drive for the target directory on the 'View Image" window and the disk drive did not contain a diskette. Sample Logo No Longer Loads By Default Upon Startup - The application will still support the use of logos. It just will not automatically appear when the application is installed. <H1><A NAME="_Toc400923433"></A><A NAME="_Toc400923488">What Was New in the 2.11 release?</A></H1> Internet Ready HTML Pages - This option has been added to the Options\HTML menu option section. It provides an additional method to create Internet ready web pages. This option will copy files and images into one directory where the HTML will be created. Thumbnail images will also be created in the same directory. The thumbnail images will still contain links to the full size image. Bug Fix Creating JPG Images - In the View Images Window the option to create single JPEG images contained a bug that would not properly name the new image. It would also cause the application to terminate.<HR> <H1><A NAME="whatis"></A><A NAME="_Toc398779236"></A><A NAME="_Toc398779363"></A><A NAME="_Toc398782728"></A><A NAME="_Toc398783038"></A><A NAME="_Toc398783118"></A><A NAME="_Toc398783180"></A><A NAME="_Toc400923434"></A><A NAME="_Toc400923489">What is Thumb Print</A></H1> Thumb Print is a utility that will create HTML files that display GIF, JPEG and other image files as thumbnail images in your favorite Internet browser. The graphic images are displayed as thumbnails or small versions of the full size image. Each image or file name displayed contains a link to the physical location on your local disk drive or web site. This utility makes it easy for you to get a quick visual look at a large number of images. Then as you spot one that you may be searching for, click on the link to see the full size picture. Thumb Print does not alter the original image. Starting with v1.10, any file name on your system or web site can be indexed with an HTML page. This includes AVI, WAV, MID, RMI, and any other file type. Icon files, in GIF or JPG format, can be used to represent the files. For example, if you are using Thumb Print to index a list of AVI files, the icon gif may display a camera or video monitor. You decide by specifying the icon in the INI file. For more Details, see "Thumbnail Icons". For Windows 95 users, Thumb Print is a utility that enables you to view GIF, JPG, and 21 other image types easily without the use of a browser. Select any file for quick and easy viewing within Thumb Print 95. Copy image files from one directory to another as easily as clicking a button. Starting with v2.0, the Windows 95 version is able to create actual thumbnail images. Quickly convert BMP, GIF, and other image types to JPG format. This feature is especially useful when you are publishing content on the WEB. Previously, the html files created just scaled down the images using the 'height' and 'width' parameters. Now you can display the small thumbnail versions of the real image in fractions of the time due to the decreased size. <HR> <H1><A NAME="_Toc395270039"></A><A NAME="_Toc395270086"></A><A NAME="_Toc395270125"></A><A NAME="_Toc395962272"></A><A NAME="useful"></A><A NAME="_Toc398779237"></A><A NAME="_Toc398779364"></A><A NAME="_Toc398782729"></A><A NAME="_Toc398783039"></A><A NAME="_Toc398783119"></A><A NAME="_Toc398783181"></A><A NAME="_Toc400923435"></A><A NAME="_Toc400923490"></A>Why is Thumb Print useful?</H1> Thumb Print is a tool that is useful to quickly search and view graphic images on your local or network disk drives. The popular graphic formats are supported. Small versions of the original images can be created quickly and easily. The smaller images are referred to as "thumbnail images". Thumb Print allows thumbnail images to be any size you desire them to be. File indexes can be easily be created in the form of an HTML file for any file type on your system or web site. Thumb Print is also a tool for Web site developers. HTML pages can be generated to display small, scaled down images. This is similar to contact prints to photographers. Some software will display rows of images in their software. Thumb Print allows the viewing of images with any Internet browser. Netscape and MSIE users can have the HTML pages automatically loaded upon creation. There are many options to vary the look and feel of the HTML page that is created. Now in v2.00, you have a tool to create images in JPG format. The images can be created from any of the supported file formats. <HR> <H1><A NAME="_Toc395270040"></A><A NAME="_Toc395270087"></A><A NAME="_Toc395270126"></A><A NAME="_Toc395962273"></A><A NAME="difference"></A><A NAME="_Toc398779238"></A><A NAME="_Toc398779365"></A><A NAME="_Toc398782730"></A><A NAME="_Toc398783040"></A><A NAME="_Toc398783120"></A><A NAME="_Toc398783182"></A><A NAME="_Toc400923436"></A><A NAME="_Toc400923491"></A>Thumb Print vs. Thumb Print Pro</H1> There are now two different types of Thumb Print that can be used: Thumb Print for Windows 3.x/Windows 95/NT, and Thumb Print Pro for Windows 95/NT.

There are two boxes for you to supply values. The default size is 25x25 pixels. <UL> <LI>Maximum Image Height: This defines the height of the image(s) in pixels. If you place a "%" after the number, it will be used as a percentage of the browser's window height. Percentages are ignored when "Maintain Size Ratio" option box is set on. <LI>Maximum Image Width: This defines the width of the image(s) in pixels. If you place a "%" after the number, it will be used as a percentage of the browser's window width. Percentages are ignored when "Maintain Size Ratio" option box is set on. <LI>Internet Ready - This option copies and creates files into one directory. After the HTML file is created, the directory contains all of the files that are referenced in the HTML file. This makes it easy to publish images and other information on the web with the click of a few buttons. <LI>Use Relative HTML Address - This option allows images to be displayed using a file location that is relative to the HTML page created. No files are copied with this option. The HTML file will not use disk drive identifiers (C:\) to display the files if the image is in the same directory or in a sub-directory under the HTML page. If this option is checked and the HTML page is in a directory path other than the images, the disk drive identifier will be used. This option allows the HTML page to be copied directly to your WEB site without modifications regarding the file path. Of course, the same directory structure has to exist as was used to create the HTML file. See the following example: </UL> <PRE> Relative Addressing: HTML PAGE: c:\files\thumbp.htm IMAGES: c:\files\gif\abc123.gif Result: the address would be gif/abc123.gif Non-Relative Addressing: HTML PAGE: c:\data\thumbp.htm IMAGES: c:\files\gif\abc123.gif Result: the address would be c:\files\gif\abc123.gif </PRE> <UL> <LI>Rename HTML File: This option allows you to save the HTML file into a specified directory and file name. The default name will always be thumbp.htm. You will be prompted for a new file name when you create the HTML file by clicking on the icon or selecting the "Output\Advanced HTML" menu option. <LI>"Select Temporary Internet Directory" Button - This button allows you to select a directory that will be used when the "Internet Ready" option is selected. The directory selected will be used to create the HTML file. It will also be used to copy all files associated with that HTML file. Once the HTML file has been created, the contents of this directory can be copied to your Internet account for web publishing. <LI>File Names In HTML Output: Check this box if you want the local file names to appear centered under each image. If this box is checked, the other options in the frame will also be enabled. <LI>Borders Around Images: If you want borders around the images and the file names, check this box. This option only available if "File Names In HTML Output" is selected. <LI>Images Across Page: This box allows you to place a certain number of files across the screen in your browser. This allows you to take into account the size of the images and the length of the file names. If this number is too large, the horizontal scroll bar must be used to view the images that do not appear on the screen. The default is "1". This option only available if "File Names In HTML Output" is selected. <LI>File Names Only: This check box will strip the directory path from the file name. The file name will appear in the HTML file if "File Names In HTML Output" is selected or if the file being added to the HTML file is not a GIF or JPEG file. This option is mostly for use with the "File Names In HTML Output" option. <LI>File Names And Path: This check box will place the entire directory path and file name in the HTML file. The file name will appear in the HTML file if "File Names In HTML Output" is selected or if the file being added to the HTML file is not a GIF or JPEG file. This option is mostly for use with the "File Names In HTML Output" option. </UL> Background Image For HTML Page <UL> <LI>Set Background Image - If you want to use an image in your HTML files created by Thumb Print, this is where you do it. Click on an image and then select this option. Every time you create a new thumbnail file of images, the background image you selected will be used. <LI>Clear Background Image - Clears the entry for the HTML background image file. </UL> Thumbnails <UL> <LI>Maintain Size Ratio: This options causes the image to be displayed according to the height and width of the actual image. The height and width are calculated when this option is selected. The minimum height or width is 5 pixels. This option is not available with the "Use Thumbnail If Available" option. <LI>Use Thumbnail If Available: This option searches thumbp.ini for thumbnails previously created. Using this option will cause thumbnails to be used in the creation of HTML files if and only if the thumbnail exists for the image file. There is one exception, the "Internet Ready" option will create thumbnails for the images used in the HTML. Thumb nails are created by selecting the "Options/View Images" menu option. If this option is selected and no thumbnail image exists, then the maximum pixel size is used in the HTML file to scale down and display the thumbnail images. When this option is selected and the thumbnail image exists, the 'Maintain Size Ratio" option has no effect on the thumbnail size in the HTML file created. This option is only available in the Pro version. </UL> Other <UL> <LI>Allow Individual Selections: If this option is selected, you will be able to select individual files from the file list.

The converted text can be used to paste file path and names into a word processor, editor, or graphics program. When this option is selected, anytime a local HTML path appears on the clipboard it can be converted. This option looks for "file:///" on the clipboard. If it exists, it will then check to see if the file is located on your local system (checking the file path and name). If the file path and name can be found, the clipboard is then converted. It could then be used for "paste" operations. For example, if you copy "file:///c|data/abc.gif" to the clipboard from your browser's address line, it will be converted to "c:\data\abc.gif". <H4>Image Window</H4> This option will launch a separate window to display images selected from the main file list.

If you need help with HTML scripting tags, visit any of the Internet search engines and search for "HTML". Use Pre-Formatted Text - This option is only available if you have the "Use Associated Text" option selected. This option will display the text as entered into the text content area. HTML scripting tags will be used if they are used. When this option is not used, each line of the text will be appended to the previous line. Rename HTML File - Using this option allows the renaming of the HTML file when it is created. Since each slide show presentation iscreated in a single directory, the name of the main HTML page is the only thing you can change (not the directory). Create Slide Show Using Frames - This option creates the slide presentation using browser frames. The image index will be located on the left and each slide will be displayed in the rest of the window. Some browsers cannot use this feature due to the lack of support for frames. Automatic Advance - Slides can automatically advance to the next slide using this option. This option is used with "Continuous Loop" and "Delay In Seconds". Continuous Loop - Use this option will cause the first slide to be displayed after the last slide until the index page is selected. The amount of time between slides is determined by the "Delay In Seconds" option. Delay In Seconds - This option determines how many seconds to pause before the next slide is displayed. The default value is 30 seconds. Maximum Images Height In Pixels - The value placed in this field determines the size of the image to be displayed. This value does not create another image. It simply scales down the original image to fit the specified size. Images smaller than the value used will not be scaled and will be the original size.<HR> <H2><A NAME="_Toc398779246"></A><A NAME="_Toc398779373"></A><A NAME="_Toc398782738"></A><A NAME="_Toc398783048"></A><A NAME="_Toc398783128"></A><A NAME="_Toc398783190"></A><A NAME="main_output"></A><A NAME="_Toc400923444"></A><A NAME="_Toc400923499">"Output" Menu</A><A NAME="_Toc395270064"></A><A NAME="_Toc395270111"></A><A NAME="_Toc395270150"></A><A NAME="_Toc395962297"></A> </H2> <H4>Quick View</H4> This option will prompt you for a directory to use in the creation of a HTML page.
