Short: Converts any picture via datatypes to IFF-ILBM Author: m_hillen@informatik.uni-kl.de Type: gfx/conv Architecture: m68k-amigaos NAME DT2IFF FORMAT DT2IFF INFILE/A,OUTPATH/A,ICON/K,DEFTOOL/K PURPOSE Converts any picture-datatype to standard IFF-ILBM format. SPECIFICATION Since Workbench 3.0 a lot of datatypes are supported. But not all programs can use these data. Thus DT2IFF converts a picture of any type to the standard IFF-ILBM format, so nearly all applications can use the pictures. If the old file has an extension (e.g. .GIF, .JPG), it will be replaced by .IFF, if there is no extension, a new one will be added. The original files WILL NOT be overridden! OPTIONS INFILE This is neccessary. Type in the file you want to convert. OUTPATH This is neccessary. Type in the path where the new picture shall be written to. (If you want to have it in the current directory you will have to use "") ICON This is not neccessary. Here you can enter an icon name (without .info at the end of the filename) in order to create an icon for the new file. DEFTOOL This is not neccessary. Here you can enter a new default tool for your icon. The old one will be overridden. No matter what kind of icon you select for your new picture (drawer, disk, or something else), the new icon will be a project icon. EXAMPLES 1> DT2IFF Pics:Mouse.GIF RAM: This will convert 'Mouse.GIF' to 'RAM:Mouse.IFF' 1> DT2IFF Pics:Mouse.JPG RAM: ICON=ENV:def_Picture This will convert 'Mouse.JPG' to 'RAM:Mouse.IFF'. In addition, a new icon 'RAM:Mouse.IFF.info' will be created. 1> DT2IFF Pics:Mouse.PCX RAM: ICON=ENV:def_Picture DEFTOOL=PPaint:PPaint Like example number 2, but the new default tool will be 'PPaint:PPaint' BUGS NONE.
