TSE: Graphics: image.s: v1.0.2: How to install and run? Method: startup macro

[knud van eeden]

 Q. TSE: Graphics: image.s: v1.0.2: How to install and run? Method: startup macro

The advantage of this below described method is that you do not have to

change or add anything in a native TSE directory (e.g. mac) and you also do not

have to add it to the autoload list, which might sometimes have

side-effects is my experience. 

So this method is a more independent external method of running e.g. image.s.

  1. -Download and unzip the file image.s v1.0.2

       https://ecarlo.nl/tse/files/Image.zip

  2. -I added once

         '.pdf'

      to this file

       image.s

      and saved the file

  3. -Make sure once that you have irfanview download and installed

      (e.g. 64 bits version)

       https://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm

  4. -Edit image.s and add the filepath to the irfanview executable i_view64.exe

      and save the file

       E.g.

        // IRFANVIEW_EXE = 'C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view64.exe' // old [kn, ri, fr, 06-02-2026 00:00:19]

        IRFANVIEW_EXE = 'G:\GRAPHICS\IRFANVIEW\i_view64.exe' // new [kn, ri, fr, 06-02-2026 00:00:28]

  5. -Copy once this file image.s v1.0.2 to your TSE working directory

       E.g.

        f:\bbc\taal\image.s

  6. -You can find your current TSE working directory e.g. by running

      this TSE program

       PROC Main()

        Warn( CurrDir() )

       END

      That gives e.g.

       f:\bbc\taal\

  7. -Compile once that file <Ctrl F9> or otherwise

      TSE menu > 'Macro' > 'Compile'

  8. -In case you are using a TSE startup macro file

       E.g.

        f:\bbc\taal\knudstar.s

      edit that file and add the line below somewhere in the file

      (e.g. the bottom of the file)

       LoadMacro( "image.mac" )

      save and recompile that startup file

  9. -Then start TSE with the startup file

       E.g.

        g32.exe -eknudstar.mac

 10. -Then you can then permanently whenever you load almost any

      graphics file (e.g. .png, .jpg, .pdf, ...) into TSE

      show that as a graphics image inside the TSE window:

       1. -As usual via the TSE menu

            E.g.

             <Escape> > 'File' > 'Open' > <your graphics filename>

            E.g.

             <Escape> > 'File' > 'Open' > c:\temp\ddd.pdf

      or optionally starting TSE with all those parameters direct from the command line)

       E.g.

        g32.exe -eknudstart c:\temp\ddd.pdf

       E.g.

        g32.exe -eknudstart f:\bbc\taal\xmasgift.png

 11. -Tested successfully

      on

      Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (64 bits)

      running

      TSE for Microsoft Windows version 4.50 RC24

      image.s v1.0.2

with friendly greetings

Update: 

Possible applications of this image system in PDF:

1. Show almost any graphics file (that was described below how to)

or otherwise e.g.

2. Create slide shows automatically on the fly and automatically in TSE

    1. First create programmatically on the fly the first slide in TSE (e.g. using Dos() or StartPgm() to run some external        executable file

       like Python, ImageMagick, GraphViz, GIMP, Adobe Acrobat, ...) which generates using some TSE script

       some graphical output file (e.g. .png, .jpg, ... 

       On the fly thus automaticaly.

        E.g. 

         c:\temp\01.png     

    2. Then load that image file automatically as described below in TSE to view it. Then press any key to continue.

        E.g.

  

        PROC Main()

         EditFile( "c:\temp\01.png" )

        END

    3. Then create similarly the second slide via TSE via TSE scripts and save the graphical result.

        E.g.

         c:\temp\02.png

    4. Then load that image file as described below in TSE to view it. Then press any key to continue.

        PROC Main()

         EditFile( "c:\temp\02.png" )

        END

    and so ... on until the last page.

Hello,

FYIO:

1. To reproduce, download any screenshot inline in an email, then load it in TSE while image.s v1.0.2 is active.

(The same grainy result goes for image.s v1.0.1)

2. Example grainy result in image.s v1.0.2 when loading an email inline image screenshot (e.g. .png):

3. I wanted to add showing graphics images in my TSE library text file, using the 'file under cursor' method,

4. So when I clicked on it with my mouse it opens (=EditFile()) the graphics file 

and then with image.s it shows that image inside the TSE window.

5. E.g. clicking this line (or running loadfile_cursor.s):

    [file: source: f:\bbc\taal\image\loadfile_undercursor01.png]

6. The issue wit the current image version v1.0.2 was that the downloaded (e.g. from emails containing these inline screenshots)

where very grainly and the text basically rather unreadable.

7. After consulting AI Claude it informed that the issue was in the scaling in image.s

8. On request the AI Claude generated a new image_fixed.s file (see attached) which

resolved the grainy issue.

9. See much improved image screenshot running image_fixed.s

   (taken from TSE window running full screen)
