Using ImageRight Export Viewer

Export Viewer can be used to view exported files outside the ImageRight Desktop program. In addition, images can be printed and information related to the file can be displayed. When you deliver the results of your export along with the viewer to other people, they have two options for starting the viewer.

  • If the Autorun.inf file is included when the files are copied to removable media, the auto play feature will be triggered when the media is inserted into the computer. SeePreparing Files for Deliveryfor more information about files to be delivered.
  • You can double-click the IRViewer.bat file to start the viewer. This option might be used when the files are shared on a network drive as opposed to removable media.

In the steps that follow, we are going to explain how to start the viewer manually and use it to view files.

  1. Open the folder that contains the file to be viewed.
  2. Double-click IRViewer.bat.

  1. With the viewer open verify that the path displayed in the Directory Path box reflects the location of the files to be viewed. If the path is incorrect, you may type the correct path or click  and locate the folder.
  2. Select the Batch number or name (.xml file) of the file that contains the images that you want to view in the File Name list.

  1. The file tree related to the exported files will be displayed in the left side of the viewer. Files are viewed in much the same manner as they are in the ImageRight Desktop program. You can expand or collapse the tree structure by clicking or , then select a level to view the content.
 

It is possible to customize the page and folder descriptions in ImageRight Desktop. If the descriptions are customized in Desktop, the revised names will appear in the viewer. For more information about customizing the descriptions, see the ImageRight Desktop Help.

You may view files in their native format, for example, word processing documents. The appearance of the viewer will change when files are in their native format. To open a file in another program, the program must be installed on the computer, then all you have to do is click the link.

You may resize the viewer panes. Point at the bar between the two panes. When the pointer changes to , drag the panes to the desired size. You may also resize the window. Point at the window border. When the pointer changes to , drag the window to the desired size.

You can use the toolbar icons (see definitions in table below) that appear above the image to manipulate the image being viewed. While we do not demonstrate the functionality of each icon, with a little practice, you should be able to master their use when viewing images.
