- IMPORTANT !!
-
- If you have begun to collect clipart in an earlier version of this stack,
- and want to upgrade, you will have to do some editing of the scripts.
-
- First, work on a backup copy ONLY of your existing clipart stack.
-
- You should copy, one by one, the first five cards of the version 2.0 stack
- to your existing clip art stack. Paste them, in sequence, immediately behind
- the first card of the existing stack. Then, DELETE the first card (the old title card)
- from the existing stack.
-
- The new cards should have the card names:
-
- ClipArt1
- DLOG1
- DLOG2
- Black
- White
-
- Next, go to the first card containing clipart of your existing stack.
- Get "Background Info" from the "Objects" menu, and write down the
- background id number.
-
- Go back to the (new) title card of the stack. Choose the button tool
- and double-click on the "right-arrow" icon. A statement in the script
- will read "go to first card of background id XXXX." Change whatever
- is in XXXX to the id number you just wrote down.
-
- Choose the "browse" tool (the finger), and click on the "Slideshow" icon
- in the lower right corner of the title card. When the slideshow dialog appears,
- choose the button tool again. Double-click on the "OK" button. The phrase
- "background id XXXX" appears several times in the script. Change each
- occurrence of XXXX to the id number you wrote down. It may be easier to use
- the "Find" button in the lower right of the script box.
-
- Note also that this version of the Clip Art Viewer assumes that *all* cards
- containing clipart have the same background id number. For this reason, you
- should create new cards using the "New Card" menu command, or the "command-N"
- key sequence *only* from cards containing clipart, and not from the title card
- or the dialog cards. For this reason also, you should import images from other
- stacks (e.g., the images in this stack) by creating a new card in the target stack,
- then, using the "marquee" paint tool, selecting, cutting, and pasting the
- bit-image, rather than the card, to the target stack.
-
- And that's it. Sorry about how cumbersome the upgrade procedure is, and
- I'd intended to try to write a procedure that would upgrade the earlier
- version automatically, but I've been sitting on this version for a couple of
- months, and finally decided that it would be a lot longer before I could get
- around to making it easy.....
