This means that everybody who uses this program longer than a day is REQUIRED to send me mail by any means. Otherwise he is a pirate (and a louse, too). =_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_= Features: >>>>>>>>> - >>NEW SINCE 1.12<< Finally verified AGA-support! Thanks to Jeff Hobbs for helping me finding the AGA-bugs (he was also the first and only one who sent me mail regarding MUGiff). HAM8 and 256 color pictures can be pre-viewed on non-AGA machines (in 16 colors but better than nothing). - >>NEW SINCE 1.11<< Now you can play animations! You can even crunch your animations with XPK! Gives much better results than PowerPacker AND MUGiff is 6000 bytes shorter than PPShow (though not as feature packed)! Combine pictures and animations of any type and watch! This version is again SHORTER (550 Bytes!) than the previous! - >>NEW SINCE 1.11<< Tested with the new ENFORCER (Fish 800)! I couldn't find a single hit! - >>NEW SINCE 1.10<< Finally the ability to save uncompressed IFF-pictures has been added. With XPK (HUFF 100%) you can save 2 up to 20KBytes. - >>NEW SINCE 1.09<< MUGiff now supports MultiSelection! Especially useful for disk-based systems. Select all the files you want and display them. - >>NEW SINCE 1.06<< MUGiff now comes with handdrawn Icons! Why this? Workbench usability was greatly improved (e.g. ability to suppress annoying WB-window). - >>NEW SINCE 1.06<< MUGiff now invokes the ReqTools FileRequester when no argument is supplied AND ReqTools has been installed. - >>NEW SINCE 1.03<< Pictures larger than the screen can be scrolled. >>NEW SINCE 1.04<< The IDCMP-loop is done faster now, speeding scrolling up on 68000 based Amigas (suggested by Thies Wellpott on Fish 771). - Displays just any ILBM imagineable (except nested IFFs) - KS 1.2, 1.3, 2.04, 3.0 compatible - Runs on ANY Amiga (hopefully) thanks to IFF-library. - Can display any number of pictures (under KS2.04, because of unlimited commandline length) - XPK-support. XPKmaster.library must be installed though. - EXTREMELY SHORT! This version: 7052 bytes! (+ iff.library 3164 bytes) - Supports OverScan (even under KS1.2/1.3). - IFF24bit pictures can be displayed. >>>>>>>>>>>>> > REMEMBER: > >>>>>>>>>>>>> IFF.library is (c) by Christian A. Weber ReqTools.library is (c) by Nico Francois Usage: >>>>>> CLI: Just start it with the name(s) of the picture(s). ---- Example: MUGiff DH0:IFFs/THEpic.IFF DF0:WoC.HAM RAM:Irving.face.ugly While displaying the picture you can scroll around using the mouse (if the picture is larger than the screen). If more than one picture was supplied as argument you can display the next picture with the left mousebutton (or press any key) and abort the entire display with the right mousebutton. Since 1.6 you needn't provide an argument at all. This causes MUGiff to look for ReqTools.library. If it can find the library it will open a FileRequester for you and (since 1.9) you can select as many files as you want to. Just hold down the SHIFT-key and click on the files you want to view. You can also use the gadgets provided by the requester (which should be self-explanatory but for full documentation see ReqTools.doc) A new feature has been added since 1.10: The ability to save the currently displayed picture. Just press 's' and the old picture will be overwritten with an uncompressed version and the next picture (if any) will be displayed. This way you can convert MBytes of pictures for use with better packers than RunLengthEncoding (RLE). ATTENTION: see the section 'Known Features' for a bug occuring with EHB-pictures! Since 1.11 MUGiff is also able to play animations (ANIM OPT 5)! You can use the same selection methods as for pictures. To finish the playback press CTRL + C and the next file will be displayed. You can mix animations and pictures any way you want to (ideal for presentations). WB : 1. Make MUGiff the default-tool of your picture icon, double-click ---- it and enjoy 2. Via extended selection. That is click on the MUGiff icon with the mouse and hold down the shift-key. Then double-click on the picture icon(s). (and enjoy yourself THEN). 3. If you have ReqTools installed: double-click on the MUGiff icon and a FileRequester will appear. Choose your file(s) (Details can be found in 'CLI'-section above). The program automatically opens a window to display information about the pictures (resolution, depth and wether it is an iff or not). If this annoys you (especially the 'press >>RETURN<<') give the icon an ToolType entry "WINDOW=NIL:". You can also specify the dimensions of the window: "WINDOW=CON:0/0/1024/1024/ReallyBIGwindow/AUTO/CLOSE/MyPublicScreen" (the latter three for Kick 2.04 users only).
