ShowImage

ShowImage can be opened in at least four ways, by clicking on the application icon, on the image file's icon, or by dragging the image on to the application icon in the Deskbar or in the Tracker window.

As in all operating system you can double-click on files and the files will be opened in their default applications. So when you double-click on an image file's icon, Zeta will take a closer look on what format the image is stored in, then open it in the appropriate viewer.

ShowImage is capable of showing the following image formats: BMP, TIFF and TGA. GIF and JPEG is by default shown in NetPositive.

ShowImage takes advantage of Zeta's Translators library, so the application can show and save to any image format located in this library.

An example on how this application has been used for this manual
There are two ways to take a screenshot in Zeta. Press the key Print Screen or the key combination Alt+Shift+3. The screenshots are automatically saved in the folder /boot/home, in the fileformat Targa (TGA). The screenshots have been opened by double-clicking them or by dragging them onto the ShowImage application.

I have then used ShowImage to clipp a section of the screenshot, by dragging the chosen section to the Desktop. The section is automatically saved as an file, so my last step was to open the new file and save it to the image format PNG with a suitable name.
