2View.README
This is a quick introduction to 2View, for advanced Amiga users who don't
want to read the 2+ page, single spaced documentation.
2View behaves in the usual way when run from Workbench: to show a file or
files, click on the icons of the files you want to display then (while
holding the SHIFT key down) double-click on 2View's icon.
CLI usage is as such:
2View FILE/A/M,SECS=SECONDS/K/N,TICKS/K/N,LOOP/S,FROM/K,PRINT/S
where the keywords are defined as such:
FILE - One or more filenames (they can appear anywhere on the command
line)
SECS - The number of seconds to display each file
TICKS - The number of ticks (1/50th of a second) to display each file
LOOP - If this keyword is present 2View will start over from the
beginning once its shown each picture
FROM - Use FROM <filename> to display the pictures you have listed in a
separate file (named <filename).
PRINT - If this flag is present, 2View will print each picture it
displays
If you don't specify a 'SECS' or 'TICKS' argument, you will have to advance
manually.
To advance to the next picture, press the left mouse button or CTRL-C
To quit 2View, press the right mouse button or CTRL-D
To print the currently displayed picture, press CTRL-P
You can override the 'SECS' or 'TICKS' argument and advance immediately by
pressing the LMB or CTRL-C
