Multi Database Transmission V 1.2 (06-Jun-2003) - This script transmits Images from a SourceDB to a TargetDB, preserving all Category-Assignments and Property-Entries. (And, *g*, if Mario would give us an updated Timestamp for the DatabaseImageRecords, we could merge Databases by checking which Entry is newer. Think about mobile IMatch.)
Remove Empty Categories from Database V 1.0 (30-May-2003) - This script removes all 'empty'-Categories from the active Database.
OffLineCache Garbage Collector V 1.0 (28-Jun-2003) - This script checks all existing Images in OfflineCacheFolder of the active Database and deletes ownerless OLC-Images. Additionally you can select some Categories from which you want delete the Images OfflineCache-pendants.
Photoshop Conversion (PS 5.5 + 6) V 0.9 (02-Jul-2003) - This Script combines the ManagementPower of IMatch with the ImageManipulationPower of Adobes Photoshop 6.0 in an easy to use way. This Script I have written together with Klaus Schwarzburg. Many thanks for your help, Klaus.
lcms Webgallery Creator V 0.1 (05-Oct-2002) - This script enhance the original Webgallery-Creator-Script with an ICC-Conversion-feature.
little Batch Converter V 1.2 (26-Jun-2003) - This script create resized copies, optionally with ICC-Conversion for Tiff- and Jpeg-sources. Can work with OfflineCacheImages instead of originals and can transmit all Property-, Category- and IPTC-data to the copies.
Registry Functions V 1.0 (01-Nov-2002) - A littleHelper-Script to put and retrieve Data to/from Registry in its correct DataTypes. VB usually provides only the StringType. With this Lib you can store every DataType to Registry (Byte, Integer, Long, Double, Decimal, Boolean, Variant, ...).
Debug Messages V 1.0 (08-Nov-2002) - A littleHelper-Script which handles Debugoutput in Priorityclasses. With this you can have good Informationoutput when you develope a Script and a less or no Output when run the Script in Productivity-Mode. Your DebugmessagePoints can stay in code without any (auswirkung). Usefull for future changes on your code.
Explanation
MainScript: hn_PhotoshopConversion.bas
Needed Modules: [hnFncPSOLE.lib]
[hnFncUtils.lib]
[hnClsRegKey.cls]
[hnPSoleDeclarations.lib]
[hnPublicDeclarations.lib]
1) Unzip the package and copy the files to your
IMatch Scriptfolder.
In a Subfolder in the IMatchScriptfolder named "\hn273_Public\" should be the hn_PhotoshopConversion.bas and hn_PhotoshopConversion.bai,
a Subfolder named "\hn273_Public\lib\" must contain 6 Classes/Libfiles for that Script:
- hnFncPSOLE.lib
- hnFncUtils.lib
- hnClsRegKey.cls
- hnClsWorkFlow.cls
- hnPSoleDeclarations.lib
- hnPublicDeclarations.lib
- and a Subfolder named "\hn273_Public\icons\" with some bitmapfiles.
2) Open the file hnFncPSOLE.lib and the hnPSoleDeclarations.lib in the Sripteditor to embedd the needed Adobe-Photoshop-Type Library via "Edit -> Preferences". And also open the file hnFncUtils.lib in the Scripteditor to embedd the needed IMatch3-Scripthelper-Typelibrary.
3) If you want to work with ICC-Profiles you
must create a Namelist of the ICC-Profiles you use with Photoshop.
Sorry for that, but we haven't found a way to get this Namelist out of Photoshop.
On first start of the Script a ICC-Dialog Window will appear automatically. There you
can create this needed file in two ways. You can type each name into a Textfield
and add it to the list, or you can open your texteditor to create/edit the file.
But in both ways you have to type the names of the Profiles in a casesensitive way.
The names must be the names as they appears in Photoshop Dialogs, (not the filenames
of the profiles).
5) Run the Script.
... or ...
4) Read the following explanation of available options in the Script and then 5) run it!
Ok, maybe that most of the Dialogoptions are selfexplanatory. But you find most Informations for these and also some none-selfexplanatory in the following DialogPictures.
If you have enabled JavaScript in your Browser the DialogPictures are mousesensitive
for you.
Move your mouse over the option you need information from and a little popup will
appear with it.
Some Buttons are clickable! With this you can switch between the different Dialogs, like it would behave when you run the Script =:-)
If you have disabled JavaScript in your Browser you can use the DialogPictures
by clicking on each option.
This brings you to a short description. From there you always can go back to the
Dialog using the (TOP)-link.

No Palettes
With this Option you can enable to hide all Photoshop-Palettes. For that we use
the sendkey-method. In Photoshop you can toggle visiblility of all Palettes with
the TAB-Button. Because of a Bug in AdobeTypeLibrary that makes all Palettes visible
by using the AppActivate-Function, also if they have the hidden-status, we have
to send two Tabs at every second using of AppActivate. SO, if you want to hide the
Palettes but they are already visible, please focus Photoshop manually and press
once the TAB-Button.

OLE-Server-Timeout
Type in the seconds for the Server-Timeout. For every action which is send from
Imatch to Photoshop, the script waits maximum this amount of seconds for a ResultCode.

time a Messagesbox popups where the user is asked to cancel or wait and focus manually
to Photoshop after it has ends the current operation. This may only happen if an
unexpected Error occures [Hope not!] or if Photoshop is running on timeintensive
operations.
