 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

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.
