PQV Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: Why does loading an image from a memory card take so long? A: Memory cards can vary greatly in their read speeds and are much slower than RAM. If you need quick access to your images, copy them to the RAM part of the file system. Q: Can I add sound or notes to my slideshows? A: Sorry, this version of PQV does not support those features. Q: Why do I get an error about bit depth when I try to save an image to a certain file format? A: Certain file formats are restricted to handle only specific pixel bit depths. Use the color modification function to convert the image to a compatible bit depth. Q: How do I jump to a specific page in a multi-page file? A: Navigate pages from the choices in the Options->View menu. Q: How can I undo changes I make to an image? A: PQV is not a paint program and does not allow undoing changes. Reload the original image to undo any changes you have made. Q: When I take screen shots, I hear the shutter noise, but can't find any files being created; where are they? A: Check that the root filename and destination directory will create valid path names for the captured image files. Q: When I associate file types for PQV to open, it doesn't remember my last selections; why? A: PQV will not display previous file associations; select the files you would like associated and press the Register button. Q: How can I delete unwanted images? A: PQV allows deletion of images from the file browser and main window. Q: The image I'm viewing is displayed in the wrong orientation; how do I fix it? A: PQView can rotate the view as well as the image in 90 degree increments. Select either Rotate View or Rotate depending on what you would like it to do. Q: I tried to open a PDF file, but PQV displayed it wrong or gave an error message of "page not found"; what's the story? A: PQV currently contains limited support for viewing PDF files. It searches the PDF file for images and each image becomes a 'page'. This will only work well for PDF files which are essentially scanned images with no text or graphics. For these kinds of files, PQV is much quicker than any other viewer available. If Adobe does not release a free PDF viewer for CE, I may enhance this feature, but for now this is it. Q: I have encountered an image that PQV should be able to view, but is not able to view correctly, what should I do? A: Please email the image to bitbank@pobox.com. If it is a supported file type, a correction to PQV will be made in the next release. Q: I rotated an image and then saved it, but the saved image was not rotated; what am I doing wrong? A: There are 2 rotate functions - one only affects the view, the other affects the actual image data. Webdesign by Deep Magic Studios - HanaHo Games, Inc. Copyright © 2003 |
