Description:	A GUI for Ghostscript8 done with RxMUI by Michael Merkel.

Readme:	Short: GUI for Ghostscript8 done with rxMUI Author: Michael.Merkel@gmx.net Uploader: Michael Merkel gmx net Type: text/dtp Version: 0.13 Replaces: gfx/conv/GS8gui.lha Requires: Ghostscript8.xx, MUI, rxMUI Architecture: generic ABOUT ----- Simple Graphical User Interface for the Ghostscript8 port done by whoosh. This script has almost the same features a the older "Ghostscript-Gui" which does no longer work (here) with Ghostscrip8 and also lacks the possibility to use the new internal Ghostscript8 Workbench viewers. DISTRIBUTION ------------ spread it! use it! _write me!_ REQUIREMENTS ------------ * Ghostscript8.xx ported by whoosh (http://www.whoosh777.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk) (except internal viewing most features also work with other ghostscripts like the os4 native one) * MUI (aminet) * rxMUI >= V32.9 [tested with V40.1] (http://web.tiscalinet.it/amiga/rxmui) * postscript or PDF files INSTALLATION ------------ * extract this archive to your Ram Disk * just copy the drawer where you like it. I'd prefer "GS813:" for example. * the GS executeable is stored in the "GS8" tooltype of GS8gui. It defaults to "Ghostscript:gs". Please add an ASSIGN like that to sour user-startup: "Assign GhostScript: GS813:bin" The GhostScript assign is also needed for the PS: handler which comes with TurboPrint. * since V0.08 you can add a "startup script" which then will be executed right before GS is called. The file is: "PROGDIR:_BeforeGS.envscr" I hope to finish the little "envsetter" tool which can also store these sort of files then. USAGE ----- * Just start the script via shell or via its icon (Workbench). LIST OF TOOLTYPES ----------------- * GS8: the GS executeable (default: "Ghostscript:gs") * PdfPageCountStack: The Stack to use for the pdf page counter tool (default: 50000) * PdfPageCountReadBuffer: The read buffer the pdf page counter tool (default: 100000) * HideGS8Output: Hide gs8 console output window (default: FALSE) ****************************************************************** * ATTENTION: * * ---------- * * The window of GS8gui may be quite large. If the WorkBench * * screen is not big enough the program will not start propertly! * ****************************************************************** HISTORY ------- V0.05 (31. December 2003) * first release after a very long and very very lazy development period (shame on me!!) V0.06 (6. January 2003) * opening a project was broken * added "asynchronous" execution of GS8. This makes it possible to cancel the processing during processing a file - hopefully :-). (usefull e.g. if you started to display a postscript file with several pages by accident) V0.07 (1. February 2004) * added little tool to count the pages od pdf documents. This even works sometimes ;-) --> hint: gs8 crashes if you try to view a page which does not exist! * Rearranged page gadgets; Added page input fields. Only the contents of the page number fields are taken into account. * Console output window for GS8 * New Tooltypes: "PdfPageCountStack": The Stack to use for the pdf page counter tool (default: 50000) (If you get crashes while getting the page number increase it.) "PdfPageCountReadBuffer": The read buffer the pdf page counter tool (default: 100000) (The bigger the more memory is used the faster it grabs the page numbers) "HideGS8Output": Hide gs8 console output window (default: FALSE) * cycle box for dpi settings (display, print, convert) V0.08 (11. April 2004) * window popup when scanning pages * really outputs now in CON: window :-) * default for executeable is now "Ghostscript:gs" (no longer "gs8:bin/gs_2n") * tested with the current gs813 * added all supported gs813 printing devices * added simple startup script support for some "set xyz value" stuff ("PROGDIR:_BeforeGS.envscr" will be executed before GS8 is started) * added a png icon by Christoph Poelzl <christoph.poelzl@rmsvideo.ch> which may be used by MorphOS users V0.09 (18. April 2004) * "from" and "to" pages for displaying * added all supported gs813 converting devices (i hope) * added pattern for selecting pdf/ps file * added file/device field for printing (forgot it...) * instead of three different input fields for display/print/convert now only one for all for resolution and page settings V0.10 (19. April 2004) * fixed wrong DPI settings for display and convert V0.11 (20. November 2005) * switched cycle gadgets for printing and converting devices to pop gadgets as they contained way too much entries for smaller screen sizes (800x600) You must re-set these zwo settings to use them. V0.12 (23. April 2006) * tried to allow a command line start of the script by giving an ACTION argument and a file name. So: GS8gui DISPLAY RAM:Test.PS should call the script and display the given file using the currently saved prefs settings (thanks to Tony Pascoal). The arguments are: GS8gui {DISPLAY\|PRINT\|CONVERT} {filename} To let it use from workbench (tooltype) I added three command files: GS8gui_Display, GS8gui_Convert and GS8gui_Print which you can use for this purpose. --> Please start GS8gui once before trying the starter command files as it sets an ENV variable for it! * disabled auto saving of prefs when leaving the script * added "tiff32nc" device for converting (thanks to Christoph Poelzl) V0.13 (2. February 2007) * Added four input fields for additional parameter (global, display, print, convert). These parameters will be added to the GS command line when executing the action. For example you can add a "-dPDFSETTINGS=/screen" when creating PDF files to do some optimization for the target format. Study the GS docs for other parameters. (thanks to Christoph Poelzl for the suggestion) AUTHOR ------ Michael Merkel (MiMe@IRC) Michael.Merkel@gmx.net (Michael Merkel) http://www.mirime.de/Michael/ THANKS TO --------- whoosh for porting Ghpstscript8.13 to the wonderful Amiga Alfonso Ranieri for rxMUI Christoph Poelzl for the PNG icon Hyperion for making OS4 on my AmigaOne reality
