Sending E-mail

 

Smart Pix Manager allows you to e-mail files by selecting them and clicking File > Email File(s).  When you e-mail images such as those from a digital camera you may find they take a long time to send or that your friends complain that it takes too long to download.  This is because the disk size of an image can be very large, either because the dimensions (width and height) are big, because it was not compressed enough or because some formats, such as BMP, do not support compression.

 

Smart Pix Manager addresses this by giving the option of automatically converting the images to JPEG when sending.  Your original images will not be affected, a second set of optimized images is created and sent.

 

Options:

If you check this option then images are only converted if they are greater than the specified size

 

If this option is set then the dimensions (width and height) of the images will also be reduced during the conversion.  This will help reduce their disk size and make sending faster

 

 

 

Zip Support

 

Smart Pix Manager allows you to browse the contents of Zip files in the same way that you can browse file folders if you install the Zip Plug-in.  This includes support for encrypted Zip files.

If your zip files are encrypted then you can specify that Smart Pix Manager use a default password when opening them (if the password does not match then you will be prompted to supply another)

 

 

 

Miscellaneous

To speed up the display of images you can set the program to pre-load the next image while you are viewing the current one.  It will be loaded in the background so when you choose to display it can be shown instantly.

 

Smart Pix Manager uses your previous action to determine what you will do next, for example if you clicked the Right arrow, then it assumes you will click the right arrow next time and pre-loads the next file.  It does the same for left clicks and selection of random images.

 

Specify whether rolling your mouse wheel will zoom the image or navigate to the previous/next file.  

 

Note:

- You can hold the Shift key down to reverse this functionality

- If the currently focused control has a scrollbar then the mouse wheel will scroll that control and this setting is ignored

 

Any descriptions you add to JPEG images will also be embedded in the IPTC field of the image (allowing other applications to easily access them).  You can also manually write your descriptions to a selection of files by clicking Ctrl+Alt+I

 

Enable all the warnings that you have previously chosen to not display again will be re-displayed when appropriate
