ToyAlbum Ver.1.0 (Mar. 2000)
Create New Album
To create a new album, click ``Document / New Album...'' of the menu. Then, New Document panel will be displayed.
First, type the path name of the image directory into the field of ``Referencing Directory.'' Or, clicking ``Set...'' button, you can select the directory from an open panel. Moreover, you can directly drag & drop the icon of the directory onto the panel (see below).
You have to specify Referencing Directory surely.
Next, select path mode of the album.
And then, specify the name of the album. In case of relative path mode (1 or 2), type not full path but only a file name. In case of absolute path mode, specify full path name. In this case, moreover, you need not to specify the name at this point. You can name the album when you save it.
``Sorting'' specifies the order of images in the album.
``Size of Thumbnails'' specifies the size of thumbnails. Default value is 80, that is, the maxinum width and height of thumbnails is 80 pixels. You can set this value.
``Width'' represents the number of images in a row.
Click ``Create'' button, then ToyAlbum opens a new window and starts making a new album. If there are many images, or if the size of images is large, it would take a long time.
Filename specified by Regular Expression
-
You can specify filenames which are included in the new album using regular expression.
To use this function, check ``Filename by Regular Expression''. Then, the text field next to the button would become editable. Type a regular expression here to specify filenames.
Regular expression used in ToyAlbum differs from usual regular expression of Unix tools. It may be preferable to call extended wildcard. Clicking ``Help...'' button, you can see the detail of ToyAlbum's regular expression.
You can also use ``Ignore case'' button. If needed, turn it on/off.
Save New Album
-
Newly created albums are not saved until some save operations. The first save operation on a brand-new album may take a long time.
If once an album is saved, it would be opened rapidly, because thumbnail images are included in the file.
