- 1. WHAT IS EPSRename?
- --------------------
-
- Have you ever obtained a CDROM full of EPSF clipart images with their
- filenames the maximum lenght of 8 characters?
-
- This program is a helping tool for transfering PostScript Clip Art
- images. The basic function of this program is to copy PS files from
- devices like CDROMs, Streamers etc. (or any other storage devices) to
- any devices you wish (e.g. your hard drive). There are many useful
- features you've got in this program.
-
- The most important feature is obtaining a real title of each image, and
- renaming images' filenames to their true full lenght names. Do you ever
- get confused when trying to figure out what kind of image does a ClipArt
- file named 'CHRSMSTR.PS' or 'ARCHHOUS.EPS' represent?
-
-
- Did you know that each PS file contains a lot of information about
- itself:
- - the original real name (not 'CHRSMSTR.PS' but 'Christmass Tree.ps')
- - which program was an image created with
- - a creation date
-
-
- With EPSRename you are able to copy PS files, to rename files with their
- real names, to retrieve images' creation dates, and to put creator names
- in file notes.
-
- EPS Rename will also check each file you select, whether it is a clipart
- PS file or not, and will skip all no-PS files.
-
-
-
- 2. HOW TO INSTALL EPSRename?
- ---------------------------
-
- This couldn't be easier. There is only one executable program. Just copy
- EPSRename to any place you want (drag EPSRename's icon to a drawer you
- want to be copied into).
-
-
- 3. HOW TO USE EPSRename?
- -----------------------
-
- First you should choose source EPS files that you want to copy. For a
- file/dir requester you can click on a gadget at the very right edge of
- the window, or you can type a source path into a string field to get a
- file requester where you can select multiple files and dirs. If you
- select a directory, all files in this dir and in all subdirs within this
- directory will be copied (this directory and all subdirs will
- automaticaly be created on a destination path).
-
- After that you may select or type in a destination path where you want
- to copy selected files to.
-
-
- You have five options, explaining how to copy selected EPS files:
-
- - EXTENSION UPPER CASE: All copied files will have their extension in
- upper case (extension is a part of a filename after the last '.')
-
- - MAKE FILENAME CAPITALIZED: Filenames excluding extension names will
- be capitalized
-
- - EDIT BEFORE RENAMING: This option will let you edit each filename
- before it gets copied. When the edit requester appears, you
- can change the original name of a file, or leave it as it is by
- pressing return or clicking a 'Copy' gadget. If you click on a
- 'Skip' gadget the current program will not get copied. And if you
- click on a 'Skip All' gadget all process will be canceled.
-
- - FILE DATE = CREATION DATE: File date of each copied file will be
- changed to a date of creation of each PS file
-
- - FILENOTE = CREATOR: Each file will get a file note (file comment)
- of a creator of each PS file
-
-
-
- When you get all options selected to your needs you can click on a 'Go!'
- gadget to start the copying process. A special window will be opened,
- telling you that files are being copied. If you want the process to be
- canceled then simply press the 'Cancel' gagdet on that window.
-
- When you quit EPSRename all information about window position, selected
- paths and options will be saved and will remain the same when you run
- EPSRename the next time. Information is saved in the icon's tooltypes.
