CATALOG/EXPAND
==============

 This function expands the active catalogue by one/several graphics.
 Please read also the chapter "Settings - Generate Catalog".

 Note: When cataloguing several graphics from the LOGFILE
       the procedure can be aborted via the CANCEL-button.
       Cataloguing the remaining graphics may then be continued
       later by the function READ LOGFILE.
       During the cataloguing of graphics a window displays information
       about them (size, number of colours, etc.)

 The different functions:
 ========================

  selected files:
  ---------------
        The file to be catalogued is selected with the file requester.
        If it is not a graphic file, the program returns to the main
        screen and reports a corresponding error message.
        When expanding a catalogue with single files, multi-selection
        of files is also possible by pressing the SHIFT-key. Should
        multiple files have been selected, these will be added to the
        logfile.
        In the logfile menu (see related chapter) you now have the
        possibility to take the selected files for the current catalogue.
        Also, all other functions of the logfile menu will be available.


  whole directory:
  ----------------
        By using the path requester a directory is selected which
        searches for bitmapped graphics. All graphics located
        will be listed in a LOGFILE.
        The presented LOGFILE-Menu then allows cataloguing of
        all of the detected graphics. This procedure will be explained
        more detailed later in this text.


  whole directory plus subdirectories:
  ------------------------------------
        This function is the same as "whole directory" with the
        exception that all sub directories of the selected
        path will be scanned recursively for graphics.
        Thus this function allows the user to search through whole
        partitions of hard drives or whole CD-ROMs for graphics.
        It will also write all the graphic file names into a
        LOGFILE (--> the LOGFILE-MENU).
        The presented LOGFILE-Menu then allows cataloguing of
        all of the detected graphics.


  Reading content of Logfile:
  ---------------------------
        If available, this function allows the user to read the Logfile's
        content and catalogue the listed files.


    The Logfile-Menu:
    =================

         The LOGFILE-Menu supplies useful functions for cataloguing
         of graphics. These are in detail:

           - Expand:       catalogues all graphics listed in the logfile.

           - Update:       Removes all graphics from the logfile which are
                           already in the active catalogue.
                           This easily helps avoiding duplicate entries.

           - Sort:         Logfile entries will be sorted alphabetically
                           in ascending order. This should always be
                           called before cataloguing.

           - Information:  Displays information about the selected
                           graphic file (type, size, colour depth, etc.)

           - Remove:       Removes the selected graphic file from the
                           LOGFILE. Sorting the logfile after removals
                           is recommended.

           - Delete file   Deletes the current logfile.

           - Print:        Sends the logfile content to an attached
                           printer.

           - View:         Displays the corresponding graphic.
                           Also called by double-clicking onto the
                           graphic's name.



           Note:      The Close-Gadget (or ESCape key) ends the
           -----      LOGFILEMENU. But data will not be lost.
                      By calling READ LOGFILE it is possible to restore
                      the logfile at any time to catalogue its content.


  PhotoCD:
  --------

      This function reads PhotoCD-contact sheets from CD-ROM
      (configuration can be done first via PROGRAM/SETTINGS).
      A requester window appears and only parts of a photo CD may
      selected for scanning by selecting the start and end picture. 
      The program is also able to read Portfolio Photo-CDs.


 Scanner:
 --------

     PMPro now directly supports the ScanQuix3 scanner.device. You
     are now able to directly scan graphics via the drivers of ScanQuix3
     into PMPro's image processing menu, which allows easy changing of the 
     graphics as required (more than 40 operators like colour reduction,
     scaling, various filters and so on). Simply save it in one of the
     15 PMPro supported output formats when finished.
     After saving it will automatically be added to the active catalogue.

     Note: ScanQuix3 must be installed on your Amiga to use this function!
