TO READ THIS FILE FROM THE HELP BUTTON PLACE IT IN YOUR ~/bin directory. altered 23/06/2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------- THE rc FILE Will be created in your home directory if you exit using the "Quit" option in the File Menu. It will return you to the current directory next time you start Photoutils. TO SELECT AN IMAGE: Left click the mouse over the thumbnail. VIEW THE SELECTED IMAGE FULL SCREEN: Double middle click . Then single click to destroy. REQUIREMENTS: ActiveTcl ( I found the extensions to be better integrated than the distributed rpms) Convert from the Imagemagick package rdjpgcom & wrjpgcom Exifutils by Hugh Thomas gimp gphoto2 mplayer qiv ACTIONS: Photoutils performs the following actions on jpeg photos Display/create thumbnails by directory Download photos from camera Show image size Show whether jpg is JFIF or EXIF Show image full screen Show/Add/modify jpeg comments (1 per photo up to 64kb} resize to tmp.jpg show all exif data if present Open the selected image(s) in The Gimp Edit text files (file extension must be .txt) Play .wav files attached to selected jpeg image. NOTE: this is set up for photos from my Canon camera. The file name protocol used by Canon is 'img_xxxx.jpg' for the image and 'snd_xxxx.wav' for the sound. 'xxxx' represents a 4 digit number which will be identical for associated image and sound files which must be in the same directory. It should work for other cameras using an identical protocol, otherwise, alter code at the end of proc ShowData and send me the patch. TO DO show/edit selected exif fields convert to exif format (not now important to me, the free version of exifwrite? is size limited) add other image formats heaps else AUTHOR Barry Marchant 22-6-2006 ACKNOWLEGEMENTS Tcl/Tk Cookbook for tuition and code exerpts TclTutor for tuition ActiveTcl for demo scripts
