 How
do rename my images in
a sequence (image01,
image02...)?
By using a
specially formatted
string as input in the
batch window the string
will be replaced by a
sequence when executed.
You can choose start
number and number of
digits. Example:
(click to

This works
for all text fields not
just the name.
I
re-installed QPict and
now it won't accept my
registration number!
What is wrong?
If you had
an older registration
number this will not
work with QPict 6 and
later. Either purchase
an upgrade or download
QPict
5.2.8.
QPict
fails to play my DivX
movie files. Is this
possible to solve?
Yes, as
QPict uses QuickTime it
can view and play any
media that is supported
by the installed
QuickTime codecs. Just
download and install the
appropiate coec (see
Additional Softare on
the right side)and
restart QPict.
I
want to rename my
files using the EXIF
date. Can I do this
with QPict?
Yes, use the
batch processor with
this setting:

Can QPict
send a photo with
Entourage, or only
with Mail?
QPict
can send media files
through any mail app.
You have to create an
action that looks like
this:

Choose
the app of your choice.
Then save the action and
optionally add the
action icon to the
toolbar.

I want to sort my
images into different
folders with a
keypress while I'm
viewing each image. Is
this possible?
Yes, the
batch processor has an
action named "media
file". Select this
action and then choose
"Move To" and select a
desired destination:
(click

Click save
and save this action
with a shortcut of your
choice:
(click
to enlarge)
Repeat with
any numbers of
destinations. Later
while viewing your media
files just press the
shortcuts to move the
current image into a
folder and the next
image will then be
shown.
From time to
time the app feels
really slow. Entering
text is also very
slow.
The most
likely cause of this is
that background
buffering is active and
the media files in the
index does not have
thumbnails embedded.
QPict needs to create
the thumbnails and this
is very resource
hogging. Turn of
background buffering in
preferences and speed
should be back to
normal.
Is
there a users guide
available?
The main
help is located under
the Help menu. There is
also a pdf
version
available.
Is
there any way to add
several helper
applications?
You have
to create an action in
the batch process window
that looks like this:
(click to
enlarge)
Choose
the app of your choice.
Then save the action and
optionally add the
action icon to the
toolbar. Repeat
the above steps with any
number of helper apps.

I
cannot find a way to
change the zoom of the
media while in
fullscreen view.
You change
the zoom in the view
menu that is available
while a media file is
shown. The menu is
available even in
fullscreen view. Move
the mouse to the top of
the screen to reveal the
menu bar.
I
have found a way to
crash QPict. Which is
the best way to report
it?
We are very
grateful for your help
in improving QPict. What
we need is a description
of what actions you did
to make it happen. Also
the crash log that is
created is very useful
for us. Search for "QPict.crash.log"
and send
this file to
support@qpict.com
I
have a media file that
should be supported by
QPict but it fails to
display correctly.
What is wrong?
The file
might be corrupted or a
non standard version. It
could also be a bug in
QPict. Send us the file
(see "Sample Files" on
the right side) and let
us have a look at it.
Will
QPict ever support
file format x?
I depends on
several things. If there
is a lot of people
requesting it yes, most
likely. Please contact
us and describe why you
need it and also send as
a sample (see "Sample
Files" on the right
side) file if we request
one.
Why
are my RAW images very
dark or black?
Because
"Linear output" is
selected in RAW
preferences. Uncheck
this option and your RAW
files should display OK.
Is there
any way to adjust the
size of the picture
sent by mail?
Yes,
there is an indirect way
to do this. Select the
media file(s) you want
to send and choose
Export to media from
File menu. Choose your
settings in the options
dialog and check "Add
exported media to
index". Run the Export.
The resized media files
are now added to the
index. Select them and
choose the Mail action.

QPict
suddenly complains
that it is not
registered. I am a
registered user, what
gives?
If you
re-install your system
software or move the
installation to another
computer QPict will not
be able to find its
regsitration info. You
then need to re-enter
your registration info
and evrything will be
back to normal.
QPict
suddenly quits with no
apparent reason. It
happens even when I do
nothing. What is
wrong?
In some rare
occasions this can
happen when QPict is
reading some specific
corrupted media files
(mostly jpegs). When it
happens even if you
don't do anything
special it might be that
the background buffering
is active and QPict
tries to buffer the
corrupt image. Turn of
background buffering and
try to locate the
offending file.
My
hard disk is filling
up. Is it possible to
move (archive) some of
my media files to a CD
or DVD and still have
the thumbnails and
other data left in the
index?
Yes, use the
"Move To" command in the
Actions menu. Insert a
empty CD or DVD, select
the items you want to
move and choose "Move
To". Choose the CD/DVD
as the destination. When
the move is complete
switch to Finder and
click on the "Burn"
icon. When the disc is
finished switch to QPict
and save changes to the
index.
Sometimes
thumbnails are slow
and seems to be
recreated each time I
view the index.
The
thumbnails you have
created is smaller than
the current view size.
If this is the case
QPict will use the media
files to draw larger
thumbnails. The solution
is to select a larger
thumbnail size in
preferences and then
select all items and
choose "Create
Thumbnails" from the
Actions menu.
The
quality of my
thumbnails are low.
How can I make them
look better?
By default
QPict tries to use
thumbnails embedded in
the media files. These
are often of bad
quality. Check "Ignore
thumbnail in media file"
in Preferencs and
recreate your existing
thumbnails.
