Acknowledgments 7. Copyrights 1. Equipment Setup ------------------ 1.1 Graphics card setup Zooming may sometimes appear slow and not very smooth. This could be related to your computer and its graphics card. If you see this symptom, please adjust the "Hardware Acceleration" slider control in the "Performance"/"Trouble Shooting" tab of the Display Adapter Properties Dialog on your computer so that it is set one notch below "Full". 1.2 Display settings You may view or change the Display settings on your computer using the "Settings" tab of the "Display Properties" dialog. The "Display Properties" Dialog may be accessed from the Control Panel on your computer. 1.2.1 Some text may not be visible at default window size when using the "Large Fonts" Display setting If your computer has the "Large Fonts" Display setting selected, some of the text in ZoomBrowser EX task steps windows may not be visible at the default window size. If this happens, resize the ZoomBrowser EX window so all text is visible. 1.2.2 On some operating systems, avoid using the 16 bit High Color Display setting Users of Windows 95 and Windows 98 in 16bit high color mode may experience unusual graphic display of the ZoomBrowser EX interface. This can be resolved by changing the "Colors" Display setting to 24bit true color or above. 2. Upgrading from ZoomBrowser EX version 2/version 3 ---------------------------------------------------- If you have added comments or titles to your images using ZoomBrowser EX version 2 or version 3, you will have to run a database converter tool prior to being able to view these comments/titles in this version of ZoomBrowser EX. The database converter tool is called dbconverter.exe and may be found at the location where you installed this version of ZoomBrowser EX. 3. Sending E-mail ----------------- 3.1 MAPI support is required The E-mail facility requires a compatible Mapi32.dll to be installed in order to function correctly. A Mapi32.dll is installed when MAPI communication is enabled in your usual e-mail program. If an older incompatible version of a Mapi32.dll is currently installed and MAPI is not enabled in your usual e-mail program, enabling MAPI in this program should install a compatible Mapi32.dll. If MAPI is already enabled in the e-mail program, the e-mail program needs to be upgraded and MAPI enabled. 3.2 Avoid sending RAW images or Movie files by e-mail from the Camera Window If you select a RAW image or a Movie file in the Camera Window, to be sent by e-mail after it is downloaded, the RAW image or Movie file will be attached to your e-mail message if you do not compress it in the ZoomBrowser EX e-mail task. This may prevent your message from being sent since it is too big. If compression is applied, the RAW image or Movie file will not be attached to your e-mail message. Please do not select RAW images or Movie files to send by e-mail from the Camera Window. 4. Read-only images/folders --------------------------- You may browse images in a read-only folder or CD-ROM, but you will not be able to associate comments with images in these folders. This restriction also applies to images that are flagged as read-only. If you do want to save a comment for a read-only image, please clear the read-only check box for this image using Windows Explorer. 5. Other Issues --------------- 5.1 FPX file support in the Export Wizard Flashpix is displayed as an option in the Output File area of the Export Wizard. ZoomBrowser EX does not support Flashpix and we recommend you do not select this option. 5.2 Starting ZoomBrowser EX after abnormal termination of the Remote Shooting application If the Remote Shooting application terminates abnormally, you may not be able to start ZoomBrowser EX thereafter. If this happens, please restart your computer. 5.3 Avoid manipulating images using other tools while the images are being accessed in ZoomBrowser EX It is recommended that you do not delete, move or change any images using other applications while you are accessing these images within ZoomBrowser EX. 5.4 Avoid using extremely long file/folder names On some operating systems, ZoomBrowser EX may behave abnormally when trying to access files or folders with extremely long names. If this happens, please change the file/folder to have a shorter name. 5.5 Do not uninstall ZoomBrowser EX while ZoomBrowser EX is running If you try to uninstall ZoomBrowser EX while ZoomBrowser EX is running, the uninstall will partially work and only some of the files will be removed. Please do not uninstall ZoomBrowser EX while ZoomBrowser EX is running. 5.6 Images rotated using the File Viewer Utility may not be correctly displayed in ZoomBrowser EX ZoomBrowser EX may not correctly display images that have been rotated using the File Viewer Utility. If this happens, please rename or make a copy of the image using windows explorer, then view the new image in ZoomBrowser EX. The new image should then be displayed correctly. 5.7 Unsupported Image formats Some image formats have many variations. ZoomBrowser EX may not support all such variations and, therefore, may not show the unsupported images correctly. To view such an image within ZoomBrowser EX, please open the image in an image editor that supports its particular format and then save the image in a format supported by ZoomBrowser EX (e.g. JPEG format). 5.8 Zooming into a Movie file ZoomBrowser EX does not allow you to zoom into a Movie file. You may, however, zoom into the folder that contains the Movie file. 6. Acknowledgments ------------------- This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group. 7.
