A slide library is a
file containing one or more slides. Slide library files are used
for creating custom image tile menus and for combining several slide files
for convenient file management.
You can create slide libraries from slide files
using the SLIDELIB utility. After you have set up a slide library,
you can view slides by specifying the name of the slide library
and the slide.
Do not delete the original
slides after creating the slide library. The SLIDELIB utility cannot
update a slide library once it is created. If you want to add or delete
a slide, update the slide list file and remake the library with
SLIDELIB. When you remake the slide library, all the slide files
that you intend to include must be available.
To create a slide library
- Use a Windows ASCII text editor to create
a list of slide files to include in the library. The file would
look similar to this example:
entrance.sld
hall.sld
stairs.sld
study.sld
balcony.sld
- Name and save the file as a text file
with a .txt file extension.
- Click Start menu (Windows)
All
Programs (or Programs) Accessories Command
Prompt.
- In the Command Prompt window, at the
prompt, enter CD <folder location of slides> to
change folders.
As an example: CD
“c:\slides”
- At the prompt, enter the following syntax
to create the slide library:
slidelib libraryname < list.txt
For example, if you named your text file areas.txt,
you could create a library called house.slb by
entering slidelib house < areas.txt.
The SLIDELIB utility appends the file extension .slb to
the slide library file.
To view a slide in a slide
library
- At the command prompt, enter filedia.
- Enter 0 and press
ENTER.
- At the command prompt, enter vslide.
- Enter library(slidename) to
specify the slide.
For example, enter house (balcony)
to open the balcony slide, which is stored
in the house slide library file.
