Clears the entire list. |
Save |
Saves the list to a file. |
Restore |
Restores the list from a file. |

Remove Duplicates Options
Dedup |
If selected, duplicate files
will be removed from the directories listed in Working
Directories. The Working Directories will be compared agains the
Stable Directories for duplicates, but no duplicates are removed from
the Stable Directories, only the Working Directories. Duplicate
processing is done top down. A file found in a directory at the
top of the list is removed from all directories lower on in the
list. Duplicates are determined by doing binary file
compares. If even so much as one byte is different, the files are
considered different and the duplicate will not be removed. The
file name is not used for duplicate removal at all. |
Across Directories |
If selected, duplicates will be removed across
all the Working Directories. If not selected, duplicates will only be removed if found in the same directory. However, duplicates from the Stable Directories will still be removed. |
Image Adjustment Options
Repack |
The use of this option
is not recommended! It does work and serves a purpose, its
just that you are not likely to need it much. The file will be
saved with a repack option which changes the compression used inside
the file. Hopefully this will make slow to load files load
faster. The
main problem is this option takes a real long time! |
Repack Factor |
Recommend 1.0. 0.8 to 1.0
produces reasonable results. This just gets passed to a Java
repack method - I have no idea what it means. |
Do Nothing |
Turns option off. |
Move to Park Directory |
Moves non-image files to the
indicated Park Directory. You must select a valid park directory
where you can save files for this to work. |
Park Directory |
The directory where non-image
files are moved if you select "Move to Park Directory". |
Delete Non-Image Files |
Delete non-image files.
They do not go into the JIBS trash can, the Windows trash can, or any
other type of trash can. They disappear for good. |
Rename
Options
Unique |
If selected, all files will be
partially renamed. "jibs" plus the Next Picture Number will be
added to the file name just before the period. JIBS increments
the Next Picture Number with each rename, so all picture names should
be unique. All part sof the picture name will still remain. Example: foo.jpg will become foo-jibs347.jpg |
Clean Up Ending |
If you download files named foo.jpg01,
the
ending will be cleaned up to foo.jpg
(that is the "01" is stripped). Very convenient for operating
systems (Windows) where the file ending is used to determine the
type of file. |
Enforce Windows File Names |
The use of this option
is not recommended! Nothing
wrong
with it, its just usually not needed. If you download in an
operation system allowing invalid windows file name characters, and the
files have invalide characters, and you want to view the files in
Windows, this will clean up the mess for you. Suggest using this
with the unique option otherwise things could get sticky. Here are the invalide Windows file name characters: \ / : * ? " < > | |
Adjust
Size
Options
Resize |
If selected, every picture will
be downsized to fit within the indicated size. If a picture is
less than the indicated size, it is not changed. The aspect ratio
of the picture is not changed. For example, if a picture is
2560x1024 and resize is set to 1280x1024, the picture will become
1280x512 - shrinking the same amount by both height and width. |
Full Screen |
JIBS detects the size of your
screen if you were to show pictures full screen. This is a
convenient size to select if you typically view your pictures on your
computer full screen. |
Log
Options
Next Log Number |
JIBS creates logs of group
operations. The log is what is shown when you hit Report. All log files have the name of: jibsLog_73.txt The number used is whatever is in the Next Log Number. |
Log Directory |
This is where the log files will
be stored. It should be a directory you can write files to. |
