POP-UP MENUS
============

 PMPro presents the picture specific functions in the form of two
 popup menus. While the user popup menu is freely configurable
 the normal popup menu contains fixed unchangeable functions.


 User Popup Menu
 ---------------
  The User Popup Menu may be freely configured according to your own
  needs. You may also freely change names as well as the linked functions
  of the buttons. Configuration has to be managed via the menu
  SETTINGS/USER-POPUP. Please read the corresponding chapter for more
  information.


 Standard Popup Menu
 -------------------
  This Popup Menu supplies picture specific functions.
  These are always related to the icon where the mouse pointer
  is positioned.
  These functions are different to the User Popup and are not changeable.

  Activation is done via quickly clicking on the thumbnail with
  the left mouse button (holding the button down longer 
  will make the User Popup appear).
  After that specific actions may be done by clicking onto the particular
  buttons.
  Alternatively any function of the Popup Menu may also be directly
  accessed via function keys (see chapter "Notes/Keyboard controlling"
  for more information).

  By clicking the close gadget or pressing the ESCape key, the Popup
  menu can be left without executing a function.


  The single functions of the Popup menu:

   - User Popup
     ----------
       Opens the User Popup. Alternatively it may also be directly opened
       without calling the Popup menu - by holding down the left
       mouse button.

   - View
     ----
      Displays the graphic which is related to the thumbnail.
      Oversized graphics may, depending on the current display module,
      be scrolled with the mouse (Autoscroll).
      Within Program/Display you may specify which display driver
      you prefer to use.
      Pressing the left mouse button or ESCape key will end this function.
      Should the graphic actually be an IFF animation, a menu will
      appear in which you may specify the replay speed (images/second)
      and the number of repeats (loops=0 means repeating endlessly).
      Also, it will try to play the animation directly from hard disk
      if not enough memory for loading the whole animation is available.
      When having defined an external viewer the graphic will be displayed
      using these programs.
      Autoscroll/ESCape key may not necessarily be supported by those.

   - Remove
     ------
      Removes the corresponding entry from the catalogue.

   - Delete
     ------
      Removes the corresponding entry from the catalogue and
      additionally deletes the original source graphic from the volume
      (DANGER: The source graphic cannot be restored
               on hard disk after such an operation).

   - Rename
     ------
      This function allows renaming of the corresponding graphic
      file on the volume.
      Also the catalogue files will from now on refer to the new name
      of the graphic.

   - Mark
     ----
      Marks the corresponding entry.
      Entry names will be displayed as white typing on blue background.
      Should the entry additionally been found (SEARCH...), the filename
      is displayed as white typing on black background.
      Marking an entry again will restore it as unmarked.
      Marked entries may be manipulated and/or processed
      from the menu ENTRIES/MARKED.

   - Process
     -------
      Starts the image processing module of PMPro. A detailed description
      can be found in the chapter "Image processing".

   - Convert
     -------
      Allows conversion of the corresponding graphic into another
      graphic file format or to another colour depth.
      A detailed description of those functions can be found in
      the chapter about conversion of detected and marked entries.

   - Information
     -----------
      A menu will appear which contains information about
      save path, size, screen mode, creation date, colour depth, etc.
      related to the selected graphic. Additionally, for each graphic
      two patterns (comments) and an image description may be entered.
      All details entered must be confirmed with RETURN!
      The buttons Display, Mark, etc. are simply equivalent to the
      functions with the same name of the Popup menu.
      With these specific buttons you may also browse to the next or
      previous image or thumbnail page from here.


   - Print
     -----

      Prints the graphic on a connected printer.


   --> TurboPrint professional 3.0 or greater installed
       ================================================

       TP-DM
       -----
       This function starts the Printmanager of TurboPrint
       professional. A file requester appears where the name of
       the graphic will have already been placed.
       You just have to confirm with OK!
       Also the screen mode for displaying the raster graphics
       will be taken from PMPro.
       Should you own TurboPrint Pro 3.0+ you should only use this
       function since direct printing does not allow colour reduction or
       reducing the resolution. For more information on how to use
       the Printmanager please read your manual of TurboPrint Pro.

       Please note that printing animation's are not possible.

       After printing the graphic you may have to close the Printmanager
       to be able to continue working with Picture Manager.

  NOTE: Should you own Turboprint Professional 4, you are able
  to use all functions of the Printmanager. All settings made in the
  printing menu of Picture Manager (print size, shape, position) will
  be directly passed to the Print Manager and will not have to be entered
  again. Also selection of the PRINT function will directly use
  the Printmanager.

  When using TurboPrint professional 3 or greater, PMPro
  contains an additional feature for you:
  Should the graphic to be printed have been written in a format
  TurboPrint does not know, PMPro automatically converts this
  graphic to a format which TurboPrint is able to handle (all
  in the background) and then passes this temporary graphic to
  the PrintManager of TurboPrint.
  With PMPro TurboPrint is able to print more than 25 graphic file
  formats.


   --> TurboPrint professional not installed
       =====================================

       The printer settings as specified within the Workbench's
       preferences will be used. A menu will appear with the
       following settings needing to be made :

         * size of the printing in cm (entering one value will cause
           the other to be adjusted also, so that the width/height ratio
           will be changed to keep the graphic's view correct).

         * position of the printing (centred or left)

         * selection of the shape to be printed. A box will appear
           around the scaled graphics so that there is also
           a visual control over the area to be printed.
           The following values are possible to be entered:

            x offset: x position of the starting pixel (in pixels)
            y offset: y position of the starting pixel (in pixels)
            width   : width of the area to be printed (in pixels)
            height  : height of the area to be printed (in pixels)


            Note: All details entered have to be confirmed with RETURN.



   - DPaint IV
     ---------
       This function puts Picture Manager to the background, starts
       DPaintIV and loads the corresponding graphic into DPaint.
       Please note that DPaint does not support image formats other
       than IFF.

   - Personal Paint
     --------------
       This function puts Picture Manager to the background, starts
       PPaint and loads the corresponding graphic into PPaint.
       Please note that PPaint may not support all of the image formats
       which PMPro does, if an appropriate Datatype is not present.

       Notes about DPaintIV, PPAINT:
       -----------------------------
       * It should be noted that enough memory must be available for
         execution of this function. About 400-500KB memory for
         DPaint/PPaint and in addition, the CHIP memory needed for
         the graphic.

       * The menu Program/Settings defines under which path and
         name the program DPaint/PPaint can be found and started.
