What it is :

        Visage-Control is a enhancement for VISAGE [E] Command and allows you to :

        - Copy          pic to/as
        - Move & Rename pic to/as
        - Delete        pic
        - Reload        pic with another DisplayID
        - Launch extern programs.  e.g. Photogenics/Cybershow ...
        - UU-Encode     pic
        - View and change pics Filenote
        - Any suggestions ?

              ===========================
How 2 Install (!!! New since V0.96 !!!) :
              ===========================

Edit your EnvArc:VisageOpts and add/replace the following command
          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Prog. must be in an accessable path (e.g. C:)
or put a Path infront (eg. CMD="Work:tools/VCtrl")


---------------------Cut-Here----------------------------------
TOFRONT CMD="VCtrl [] VN='Visage_Dos_Name'"
---------------------Cut-Here----------------------------------

`Visage_Dos_Name` is the name you started Visage as.
for example you renamed Visage to ViS, you should add :

-----------Example-------------
TOFRONT CMD="c:VCtrl [] VN=ViS"
-----------Example-------------

-> OR you installed Visage as Visage : <-

-----------Example----------------
TOFRONT CMD="c:VCtrl [] VN=Visage"
-----------Example----------------


... to the end of your VisageOpts-Config file.


eg. it could look like :

-------------Example------------------------------------------------------------------------
BESTMODE TOFRONT BB=ON CENTER DITHER=FS OVERSCAN=VIDEO SCALE VCENTER CMD="c:VCtrl [] VN=ViS"
-------------Example------------------------------------------------------------------------




  >Don`t forget so save your changes (to EnvArc: & Env:) <





Usage :

        - Watch a pic with VISAGE
        - Hit the `E` Key ( between `W` & `R` :-)  )
        - Visage-Ctrl should now Popup (really)
        - Choose an option via Mouse,Keys or Pull-Down-Menu (should be easy to understand)








Gui :

You can use Triton(prefs) to change the looking of the GUI and Screenmode
