Image processing

[Nick]

HUH!? Wheres my reply to Cecilia? I put a reply just after her post. Oh well.

@Cecilia

When I said "simple" I meant a small and simple program. I know imageFX is easy to use. Though I only have version 4. I think I`ll have to get 4.5 soon.

Hmm ImageFX won`t listen

So, if you open it normally, can you then change it to run on your opus screen?
If you can, are you able to save these settings?
I cannot test it now, but running it on a normal WB was a no-brainer, so on a Opus screen should be easy enough.

I have tried duplicating the main ImageFX file, then changing the tootype which tell it which config file to use. I have created a config file which is setup conrrectly for puttin it on my desktop, by going in in the usual way and changing the prefs, then saving as another file. This cause it to crash and so doe loading the normal ImageFX with the normal config file except for the screenmode settings.

Does that make any sense?

Does anybody elses ImageFX become unstable when you start it up?

[Nick]

When I say unstable on startup I mean normally not when trying to do what i`m trying to do. It has always had a big chance of crashing on my computer. Rarely after its got going.

@Nick

Yup, I see what you mean. However, I've managed to sort it out.
Here's a walk thru:
1. Copy the icon as previously discussed.
2. In prefs/preview options, ensure that the OpenScreen tickbox is, err, unticked.
3. Save as Default_New (or whatever). This is where it will probably crash. So reboot if it does. If it don't, close IFX anyway.
4. Open the icon information and change the PREFS= to your new prefs file and add the WORKBENCH tooltype as previously discussed. Save.

IFX now boots up on your Workbench.

Does anybody know of a program which could get rid of this exif rubbish?

Try StripJPEG on Aminet, in gfx/misc
If you use a PC look for JPEGCleaner (or JPGCleaner?)

[FluffyMcDeath]

Have a look at PPT on Aminet. Needs BGUI, but is quite capable of doing what you want, and is free, I believe.

@FluffyMcDeath

Tried it PPT for somereason doesn`t like my computer at all. Weird!

Thanks anyway

[Nick]

@BouncingAyatollah

Hehe I`ve tried that too. It can`t find the exif thing. Unless I did it wrong, but it said something like "No propriatry header found" or something.

Thanks

@jd997uk

I`ve just done what you said. It works, but I don`t want it on my Workbench screen. I want it on my DOpus screen. I changed Workbench to DOpus.1, but it still appears on my WOrkbench screen. Is that a tooltype which can be changed or is a fixed thing?

Thanks

[jd997uk]

Is that a tooltype which can be changed or is a fixed thing?

OK. Delete the WORKBENCH tooltype and use:
PUBSCREEN= What_Ever_your_screen_name_is

Wierdly, if I run Diropus (5.5), IFX opens fine on it with the WORKBENCH setting. Go figure.

I'm running out of ideas... How about letting datatypes do the work?  Use Multiview to open the jpeg, and then just select save from the menu.  You should get an ILBM.  ?? If that doesn't help, I'm not sure of what to tell you.
