Using Suffix Mapping

The web server must be told which suffixes are to be passed to PictServerPro. With WebStar(tm), this is done through the creation of an "action". This "action" ties PictServerPro with the suffixes to be converted. After creating the "action", create suffix maps that link certain suffixes, such as .pict to PictServerPro.

Once the web server is setup, PictServerPro can be configured. The program comes with all 14 suffixes pre-defined. These default settings can be changed at any time either through the preferences menus or via remote administration.

Here is a table of the suffixes that come pre-defined in PictServerPro:

.PICT	Convert pict image to JPEG
.PITN	Convert pict image to JPEG thumbnail
.PICG	Convert pict image to GIF/Interlaced GIF
.PTNG	Convert pict image to GIF/Interlaced GIF thumbnail
.TIFF	Convert tiff image to JPEG
.TFTN	Convert tiff image to JPEG thumbnail
.TIFG	Convert tiff image to GIF/Interlaced GIF
.TTNG	Convert tiff image to GIF/Interlaced GIF thumbnail
.EPSF	Convert pict preview from EPSF file to JPEG
.EPSG	Convert pict preview from EPSF file to GIF/Interlaced GIF
.MOVJ	Convert movie poster frame image to JPEG
.MVTN	Convert movie poster frame image to JPEG thumbnail
.MOVG	Convert movie poster frame image to GIF/Interlaced GIF
.MTNG	Convert movie poster frame image to GIF/Interlaced GIF thumbnail

You will notice that EPSF files do not have a thumbnail conversion type. This is because the preview images are already in thumbnail format. If you wish to change the size of the resulting images more than just via the thumbnail option, you can use the scaling options.
