Visual Engineering - Batch process v1.01



SHORT DESCRIPTION

  This script calls selected Image Engineer -script for all
  selected files in Magellan -dirlist, applies an effect to file
  and saves it.


REQUIREMENTS

  Image Engineer v3.41 (Wision release 2)
  Directory Opus Magellan


INSTALLATION

  You may copy this script anywhere you want to.


USAGE

  Script was originally made for Directory Opus, Magellan. You can
  still with little effort, make it work with any other filemanager.

  With Magellan, create yourself a new button-bank and add a
  function like this to one of buttons:

    DOpus5:ARexx/VisualBatchProcess.rexx {s} {o}

  Enable these: Do all files, No file quote, Rescan source


  So, line after comment line, "/* DO SOMETHING */" is the effective
  one. By default it calls VisualBorderDemo-script. Arguments for it
  are in it's .notes-file.

  (address command "Sys:Rexxc/rx ie:arexx/VisualBorderDemo.rexx" newfile ROUNDCORNER 90 13)



  After VisualBordering, script continues and checking is made, if
  original filename had a suffix.

   .JPEG, .JPG, .JFIF are translated to ".jpg"
   .PNG,  .PING       are translated to ".png"
   .TGA,  .TARGA      are translated to ".tga"
   .TIF,  .TIFF       are translated to ".tif"
   others             are translated to ".jpg"

  Ofcourse save-fileformat will be same than it's suffix.
  File is saved to "processed"-directory of sourcedir.



  If you are going to use this script from shell or from other
  filemanager, tell it 2 arguments; first is sourcedir and second is
  filename.

  Future will bring more helping scripts for Magellan, depending on
  feedback and suggestions I receive. Maybe I then bother fixing
  the problem on names with spaces.





HISTORY

  There was a typo in (default) call to VisualBorderDemo-script.
  Added also a checking, if the script actually exists.
  Still Magellan will process all the files, even if error occurs.
  Added more detailed info about setting function for Magellan.
