TinyShow Help

INTRODUCTION

TinyShow is a utility for viewing picture files including bmp, gif (including animated), jpg, png, tif, wmf and ico.

TinyShow can view files individually, as a group or as a variable-speed slide show - perfect for "hands-free" viewing.

You can open the TinyShow interface and drag-drop picture files or a folder containing picture files into the main window, or simply drag-drop picture files or a folder containing picture files onto the TinyShow icon to view them.

OPTIONS MENU

Actual Size Display each picture at it's actual size, scaling it only when it is too large for the TinyShow window. Once the TinyShow window is larger than the picture, the picture will remain at it's actual size (as shown above).

Border Color Draw a thin colored border around the displayed picture. Use the secondary popup menu to select one of the preset colors.

Border Width Set the thickness of the border drawn around the pictures. Use the secondary popup menu to select one of the preset sizes. If you select zero 0, no border will be drawn.

Background Color Change the background color to one of three preset colors - black, white or gray.

Keep On Top When selected, the TinyShow window will stay on top of all other windows.

File Associations Opens a window where you can select which extensions should be mapped to TinyShow. A mapped extension means that when you double-click a file of this type (.bmp for example) it will automatically open in TinyShow. By default, no file extensions are mapped to TinyShow.

Click the '+' button to select all extensions.

Click the '-' button to deselect all extensions.

Click the 'change' button to finalize the changes.

Delay Select to set the timing between pictures when running a slideshow. You can use the presets 1, 2, 4 or 10 seconds. Or, you can select "Other" and set your own delay up to 600 seconds (10 minutes). Note that if you use "Other" and set the value to 1, 2, 4 or 10, the corresponding menu preset will be selected.

Run Slideshow Select to begin running the slide show.

Pause Pauses the running of the slideshow. Select again to resume the slideshow.

Autostart When selected, the slideshow automatically starts running after you drop a group of files into the display area.

Repeat Run the slideshow again (continuously).

Show Pixels When displaying a picture, show the width and height (in pixels) in the title bar.

Show Sizes Opens a small window which displays the current image size in pixels, inches, and millimeters based on a variety of DPI sizes.

Check the 'Keep on Top' box to keep this window on top of all others when open.

Full Ani Buttons Displays all possible button for controlling animated GIFs, instead of a smaller group.

Exit Quit TinyShow.
