Opportunities of the compiler
"*.MMP" - files.
The program
SGIMMPWorkStation 2.1 gives the following opportunities:
I.
The
basic opportunities.
8 bit per pixel (palette)
24 bit per pixel (True Color)
32 bit per pixel (True
Color Alpha).
II.
Additional opportunities.
1. Copying files and
directories.
2. Moving files and
directories.
3. Moving files and directories in to Recycle bin (if it probably
agrees to adjustments of a Recycle bin).
4. Removal(distance) of objects (files, directories, images).
5. Creation of the empty directory.
6. Renaming a file or directory.
Use of the compiler "*.MMP" -
files.
Objects, above which the
compiler works, are:
files
directories
images.
The information on objects is
displayed on two
îáúåêòíûõ the panels
- tables.
For each of these two panels the
property - name of parental object is given. It can be the directory or file-archive
of the images. Archive of the images can be a file MMP or other file supported
a storage of the several images ("*.TIFF", "*.GIF").
The name of parental object is specified
on the panel of a file path.
For a file way there is a label of
the disk device. The disk device gets out by click of the mouse on buttons of a
choice of disk devices on the panel of disk devices.
At connection of the new
disk device no more than in 1 second there is an appropriate button for this
device.
Only
one of panels can be active at any moment of time. If the panel is active and
if the panel contains even one recording of object - on the panel the cursor is
displayed which specifies the current chosen object.
The change of a
position of the cursor of panel can be made click of the mouse on recording object or cursor
arrows, and also keys PageUp, PageDown, Home, End.
The change of a file path of the panel at the constant disk device for the panel is possible
for making by two methods:
1) an
entrance in affiliated object of a way of the panel (entrance in subdirectory
or the archive of the images) - is made by pressing of a key Enter at the
moment of a presence of the cursor of objects panel on recording of object, or
double click of the mouse on recording object panel.
2) an
entrance in parental object of the panel (the exit from subdirectory or archive
of the images) is made by three methods:
1 – the cursor of objects panel is
established on recording of the parental directory,
the key Enter is pressed;
2 – the double click of the mouse on
recording the parental catalogue is made
3 – by pressing of a key BackSpase.
The multiple choice of objects,
multiple cancellation of a choice is made by allocation of objects by two methods:
1 - by the mouse (the cursor is
established on recording of the first selected object, the right button of the
mouse is pressed and the mouse moves).
2 - by a key Insert (the cursor is
established on recording of the first selected object, the key Insert is
pressed and thus the cursor is automatically displaced on one position
downwards, at long keeping of a key Insert the auto repetition is included,
owing to what some pressing Insert in succession are emulated, and thus, there
is a multiple allocation of objects).
Assignment of values of
names of objects ðàñòðîâûõ of Alpha-masks for objects of the images before compilation of the
32-bit images with the Alpha-channel is made as follows.
1) in one
of two of objects panels the multiple choice of objects of the images is made
which will serve Alpha-masks.
2) in
opposite of objects panel the multiple choice of objects of the images subject
compilation is made.
3) the
objects cursor (the cursor of objects panel) is established on the panel with
the allocated masks (thus panel with masks we make active).
4) by
pressing of combinations of keys Ctrl-R or choice of the menu of the Commands /Assignment
values names of objects raster's of Alpha-masks (Ctrl-R).
5) after
that to the chosen images the masks will be given by way of a choice of the
images and masks. If images is chosen more, than masks, the parts of the chosen
images will not be given masks and on the contrary.
At transitions from one
catalogue or file in other directory or file the property Mask of objects is
kept. On end of work of the program the property Mask of objects is not kept on
a disk.
Clearing of values of names of Alpha-masks of the
allocated objects.
1) the
multiple choice of objects is made
2) we
press a combination of keys (CTRL-W).
In result the property
Mask of the allocated objects will be cleared.
Clearing of the
list of names of Alpha-masks.
1) The multiple choice of
objects is made
2) We press a combination
of keys (CTRL-E).
In result the property
Mask for all objects will be cleared.
Creation of a new MMP-file.
We press a combination of
keys (CTRL-N) or we shall take advantage of the appropriate option of the menu
File/Create/Empty file "*.MMP" (CTRL-N). After that the window will
appear
In the line editor of a window we
enter a name of a MMP-file without expansion, we press the button Enter.
Compilation of
the images (packing and unpacking of the images).
Choice of a mode of packing of the
images.
For a choice of one of
three modes of packing (8 bits, 24 bits, 32 bits) are necessary to take
advantage of an option of the main menu of the program - Configuration/Target
of transcoding images.
To pack the images into
a MMP-file,
it is necessary that this file was available. If a MMP-file with the necessary
name is not present - to create it.
We open a MMP-file. In
the opposite panel is selected one or several files of the images. We press a
key F5 or we shall take advantage of the mechanism " Drag and drop "
and we move objects from one panel in another. It is possible to drag objects
not in the panel with an open MMP-file, and in recording a MMP-file. It is
possible also to allocate not files of the images, and catalogues, which
contain them, but, the catalogue contains in a case if not only supported files
of the images, but also other files - thus are necessary for switching the
program in a mode of display of supported files of the images, in which the
catalogues and graphic files, supported by the program will be displayed only.
After a choice of
operation of compilation the dialog box will appear
The mode compilation is
established. We confirm operation of packing. The process of compilation of the
images will begin and the window will appear
On end of process of
compilation both panels will be updated. The images will be packed in a
required format.
The images of different formats can
be stored in the same MMP-file. In case at a MMP-file there are images with
names of the broadcast images - existing images will not be removed, and
broadcast - will be renamed, in the end of a name in such case the number in
parentheses is added.
The similar sequences of
actions are applied to unpacking the images. The images, transformed
during unpacking, will be kept in files "*.BMP" of a 24-bit format.
Existing same "*.BMP" files will be replaced.
The compilation of the
images can be carried out also by pressing of combinations of keys (CTRL-F5) or
appropriate option of the main menu of the program. Thus it is possible also to
carry out compilation of the images from files "*.JPEG" in files
"*.BMP".
Decompilation of Alpha-masks of objects.
There is also additional
opportunity - to broadcast Alpha-masks of objects. We admit(allow), we have the
image in a file MMP in a 32-bit format and we want to create other image in the
other MMP-file in a 32-bit format with the same mask. Then it is necessary to
take the image of a mask. In such case in a dialog box of adjustments of
compilation it is necessary to include an option "Transcoding and unpack
Alpha-mask images". In such case instead of the images their masks will be
broadcast and in the end of a name of the image will be added substring
"(mask)".
Direct stream copy or Direct stream move
of the images from initial "*.MMP"-file to another "*.MMP"
- file.
SGIMMPWorkStation 2.0
supports Direct stream copy ïðÿìîïîòîêîâîå copying or Direct stream move of the chosen images
from one MMP-file in other MMP-file without transcodind of the images. The
essence Direct stream copy consists in copying the certain parts
of a file-source in a file the receiver. The process at all does not change
quality of the images and is carried out faster than process transcoding.
We admit,
that we want to receive a MMP-file with determined textures, which are in other
MMP-files. Fastest, idle time convenient and favourable variant - Direct stream copy of the images.
For
realization Direct stream copy (move) it is necessary:
1) to open
in one of panels a MMP-file a source
2) in the
opposite panel to open a MMP-file the receiver
3) to press
a key F5 or to choose the appropriate option of the menu;
The window
will appear
At inclusion of an option
" Replace images if exists " the existing same images will be
replaced new. If this option will not be switched on - existing same images
will not be replaced, and the initial same images will not be copied (are
displaced).
At Direct stream move the displaced images from a source leave.
The choice of an option
"Target transcoding images" means refusal from Direct stream copy and choice of compilation
of the images, after confirmation of performance of operation in such case the
performance of inquiry on transcoding will begin.
Renaming of the
image contained in "*.MMP" - a file.
Renaming of the images of
a MMP-file - opportunity of the program of the current version. For this
purpose it is necessary to execute the following sequence of actions:
1) to put îáúåêòíûé the cursor on recording
of the necessary image of a MMP-file.
2) to click the left button of the mouse on this
object, then editing a name of object will join.
3) to edit a name.
4) to press a key Enter.
5) if the image with a desirable name already is
present at the same MMP-file - the window, informing on it will appear, and it
will be necessary to make one of two choices: to replace the existing image or
to cancel renaming.
The image will be renamed
in case of success.
Removal of the
images from "*.MMP" - file.
For removal of the images
from a MMP-file it is necessary:
1) to allocate óäàëÿåìûå of the image
2) to press a key F8 or to choose the appropriate
option of the menu
3) to confirm operation of removal.
Additional opportunities.
The additional
opportunities of the program of the current version consist in opportunities of
realization of simple file operations. These operations:
1) copying of files, directories together with
contents of the directories (key F5 or appropriate option of the menu);
2) moving of files, directories together with
contents of the directories (key F6 or appropriate option of the menu);
3) moving of files, directories together with
contents of the directories in a Recycle bin (if it probably agrees to
adjustments of a Recycle bin) (key F8, Delete or appropriate option of the
menu);
4) removal of objects (files, directories,
images) (SHIFT-F8, SHIFT-DEL). In such case files and the directories leave
without a premise them in a Recycle bin;
5) creation of the new empty directory (key F7,
or appropriate option of the menu);
6) renaming of a file or directory (inclusion of
a mode of editing by a combination of keys (SHIFT-F6) or inclusion of a mode of
editing by the mouse, editing of a name of a file or directories and confirmation
of change of a name).
