manager directly to <span

you select <span

class="pcrr7t-">Open </span>in the main window, <span
class="pcrr7t-">nip2 </span>will
pop up a file dialog, see Figure <a

following extra features:

have opened something. If this item is checked, the
dialog will stay up instead — this is useful if you
want to load or save a series of objects.

class="description">Use this menu to select the type of
file you want <span

option to set the default image format. The VIPS
file format is fast and accurate, but sadly not very
widely supported (joke). You can also load and
save images in TIFF, JPEG, PNG, HDR, CSV and
PBM/PGM/PPM formats. You can usually load in
many more formats, it depends how your <span
class="pcrr7t-">nip2 </span>has
been configured.

window which shows thumbnail-sized images for
all the matching files in the current directory.

<!--l. 181--><p class="indent" > If pin up and increment are both selected, then after a
save <span

For example, if you save a file called <span
class="pcrr7t-">fred001.v</span>, after the
save <span
class="pcrr7t-">nip2 </span>will put the name <span
class="pcrr7t-">fred002.v </span>into the selected
file name box. Again, this is useful if you want to save a
series of images.
