| Directory tree browser (left panel in
the main window) you can browse
the directory structure and double click (or press return) to select a
folder into the active (as recipient) image depot field. To make that
field active just click on it and the frame's color will change to dark
blue. The same way is used in the composer Options or in Image Depot
master. In Directory browser you navigate in the usual Windows manner and the directories are color marked as black - no images, blue - some images but not an image depot and green - image depot folder. You can use the arrows key from your keyboards to navigate and Return key to select, if you prefer. You can switch between hard disks from the combo-box in the top right corner. There you can find the history list as well. |
Right click on any directory name and from popup menu
you can Rename that directory or Create a new subdirectory to the same
one. Directory browser is visually alternative to the log (by default) but if you need them both drag the top splitter in the directory browser to see the log and the directory browser on the top the other. Above the directory tree you will find Refresh button to reload the current drive in case you have made an external change. |
List view of the viewer
| The viewer (Image Depot Viewer tab) shows a Scripthea image depot (a folder with bunch of
images and decription.idf file to link images to respective prompt
and other properties). You can change the default image depot folder
coming from options. From directory browser (left panel) you can browse
the directory structure and double click (or press return) to select a
folder for viewing. You can chose
between list view and thumbnail (grid) view.
In list view you can select a row and the respective image will show on the right. In the grid view you can adjust the thumbnails from the menu (bottom left button). You can move around with the blue arrows on the bottom, all self-explanatory. From left to right: first image; page up; image up; image down page down; last image . On the very bottom common (for both views) there is the find panel which will find a word in the prompts of the active image depot and select it. You probably already noticed that list view is faster and grid view is easier on the eyes. |
Slide show - Play button (or F11 key) on the top of images list
or grid to start the slide show. It will show images in
sequence, actually it switches from active image to the next image in
Delay seconds. You can change the active image any time during the show.
The slide show will stop at the last image or by clicking on Stop icon or
by pressing Escape key or if you change the image depot or the view. Find/Mark The text box on the bottom provide you with easy access to an image if you know some word(s) from the prompt. After typing some text using wildcards (? *) or not, you can jump (up/down) to the next occurrence of the text. Another way is to click on Mark button to mark the images by the same criteria - similar to the same feature in modifiers. Useful feature here is deleting the selected image from Image Depot (Delete or NumPad - ) and recover the last deleted image (NumPad + ).
You can rate the selected image using NumPad numbers or the slider
next to SD parameters (bottom/right in the viewer). If you prefer using
NumPad keys take a note that the image you rate needs to be selected (in
blue). The set ratings will be automatically saved in the image depot DESCRIPTION.idf file. |
Grid view of the viewer
The image viewer (on the right) is very simple: buttons for: zoom-in;
zoom-out and fit to the panel. When the image is zoomed-in you can use the
scroll-bars to pan (move) it.
On the top right, blue copy icon will copy the selected image into
the clipboard or you can drag and drop the image to your destination
software (e.g. MS Word or Photoshop).
Meta checkbox will show a list with meta-info from the image file (meta-info
location in *.png file).
