The left pane of the main window functions in three modes: the mode
of displaying the gallery (the tool button 11
is pressed, the menu item "View/Show gallery" is marked), the mode of
displaying the duplicates (the tool button 12
is pressed, the menu item "View/Show duplicates" is marked), and the
mode of displaying the unlike images (the tool
button 13 is pressed, the menu item "View/Show unlike images" is
marked). In the first mode the pane displays thumbnails of all the gallery
images. In the second mode the pane displays thumbnails of the similar
images grouped rowwise (one row of thumbnails corresponds to one group
of the similar images), or textual information about the gallery, if
search of duplicates was not accomplished yet. In the registered version
of ImageDupeless the rows of duplicates are sorted in ascending order
of a level of difference of the images in the row. In the third mode
the pane displays thumbnails of the images that are unlike according
to user's opinion, or textual information about the gallery, if the
user selects no unlike images. The unlike images are grouped rowwise
according to that how the program groups them in the list of duplicates.
The right pane of the main window contains the textual list of the gallery
images, which displays paths to files with the images, sizes of the
files and resolutions of the images. Unary clicking by the right mouse
button on the left or right panes causes popping up the contextual menu.

Manual
|
| 1 |
The number showing a level of difference of images
in a group (percentage). 0% - identical images from the point of
view of the program. The given number is not shown in the modes
of displaying the whole gallery and displaying the unlike images. |
| 2 |
The bar to the left of a group is painted by blue
color gradations depending on the degree of similarity of the images.
0% (maximum similar ones) - the bright blue color; at reduction
of similarity the number above the bar grows, the blue color turns
pale. Double clicking by the left mouse button on the given bar
causes start of the window for comparison
of two images (either two images marked in the group or the
first pair of images in the appropriate group, provided that less
or more than two images have been marked). In the unregistered version
the double click functions only for the first pair in each group.
The given bar is not shown in the mode of displaying the whole gallery.
The bar is painted by red color in the mode of displaying the unlike
images. |
| 3 |
The thumbnail of an image. Unary clicking by the left
mouse button on the thumbnail marks the appropriate image (see item
5). Unary clicking by the left mouse button on a marked thumbnail
removes the mark. Double clicking by the left mouse button on the
thumbnail causes start of a registered program for viewing the appropriate
image (see options). In the unregistered
version the double click functions only for the first pair of thumbnails
in each group. |
| 4 |
The file size (kilobytes) and image resolution (pixels).
They are displayed if the corresponding options
are set. |
| 5 |
The red tick in the top left corner of a thumbnail marks the
corresponding image. The image is marked with unary clicking the
left mouse button on the appropriate thumbnail. Unary clicking
by the left mouse button on a marked thumbnail removes the mark.
Having marked equally two images in one group (row of thumbnails),
one can start the window for comparison
of the given images with double clicking the left mouse button
on the blue bar to the left of the group (see item 2). Selecting
the menu item "Tools/Delete selected images from disk" or pressing the
tool button 10 results in deletion of the marked images both
from the gallery, and from the data medium. Before deletion of
the image files a warning will be displayed if the corresponding
option is set. Selecting
the menu item "Tools/Delete selected images from gallery"
results in deletion of the marked images only from the gallery
(image files are kept on the disk).
|
| 6 |
The name of the file with the image. It is displayed
if the corresponding option is set. |
| 7 |
Pressing the crosshair in the bottom left corner of
a thumbnail results in deletion of the appropriate image (both from
the gallery and from the data medium) in the modes of displaying
the gallery and the duplicates and in exclusion of the image from
the list of unlike images (its renewal in the list of duplicates)
in the mode of displaying the unlike pictures. Before deletion of
the image file a warning will be displayed if the corresponding
option is set. The crosshair is displayed
if the corresponding option is set. |
| 8 |
If there is the word "Off-line" in the bottom left
corner of a thumbnail, it means that the appropriate image is absent
on the data medium (for example, it is on a removable disk (CD)
or it was deleted after creation of the gallery). There are
a number of features of working
with "off-line" images. |
| 9 |
Pressing the given button over a pair of neighbouring
thumbnails causes start of the window for
comparison of two appropriate images. In the unregistered version
the button functions only for the first pair of thumbnails in each
group. In the modes of displaying duplicates and unlike images the given
button is shown if the corresponding option is set.
The given button is not shown in the mode of displaying the
whole gallery. The button is also not shown if at least one image
of the corresponding pair is absent on the data medium (off-line). |
| 10 |
In the mode of displaying the duplicates each row of thumbnails
contains a group of the images (two or more), which are considered
by the program as similar ones according to the
given criterion. In the mode of displaying the unlike images
each row of thumbnails contains a group of the images, which are
considered by the program as similar ones according to the
given criterion, while the user marks them as unlike ones.
|
| 11 |
When the mouse pointer is positioned on an area free
from thumbnails, the status bar displays: amount of images in the
gallery and its real size (the size occupied by the images on the
data medium) in the mode of displaying the whole gallery; amount
of found duplicates and amount of groups of the similar images in
the mode of displaying the duplicates; amount of unlike images selected
by the user and amount of their groups in the mode of displaying
the unlike images. |
| 12 |
The current image is marked with a violet frame. To
make the image current one move the mouse pointer into borders of
the appropriate thumbnail (navigation with key buttons is also possible)
or select the appropriate line in the list on the right pane (see
item 13). For the current image the status bar displays the complete
path to the appropriate file. Pressing the key button "SPACE" results
in start of a registered program for viewing the current image (see
options). Pressing the key button "DELETE"
results in deletion of the current image (both from the gallery
and from the data medium) in the modes of displaying the gallery
and the duplicates and in exclusion of the image from the list of
unlike images (its renewal in the list of duplicates) in the mode
of displaying the unlike pictures. Before deletion of the image
file a warning will be displayed if the corresponding option
is set. |
| 13 |
An element of the list in the right pane displays:
the number of an image in the gallery, path to a file with the image
relative to the root directory of the gallery (the latter is shown
in the list heading), size of the file (bytes), resolution of the
image (pixels). If the program has found at least one duplicate
for the given image and at the same time the user does not mark
them as unlike images, the appropriate element of the list is marked
at its left by a red tick. Unary clicking by the left mouse button
on an element of the list marks the appropriate image as current
one (the left pane is automatically scrolled so that the appropriate
thumbnail has been visible, the given thumbnail is marked by a violet
frame, see item 12). Double clicking by the left mouse button on
an element of the list causes start of a registered program for
viewing the appropriate image (see options).
Unary clicking by the left mouse button on the heading of a list
column results in sorting elements of the list in accordance with
contents of the given column (repeated clicking results in sorting
in the opposite direction). |
| 14 |
If there is a certain image similar to one of presented
in the list of unlike images, then in the mode of displaying the
duplicates the program will display only one image from the group
of unlike ones in the left pane, having marked it by the green arrow
(clicking on this arrow allows to thumb through the corresponding
group of unlike images). The operations with such "pseudogroups"
are limited. The given element is not shown in the modes of displaying
the whole gallery and displaying the unlike images. |
