haiku/docs/userguide/en/preferences/prefs-datatranslations.html
Joachim Seemer 077a475a14 * Added docs of applications:
CDPlayer and CodyCam (both work in progress), DeskCalc
* Started installing.html.
* Added a screenshot of Glyph+Subpixel rendering to Appearance prefs.
* Mentioned new setting "Monospaced Fonts Only" glyph hinting in Apperance prefs
* Mentioned sysinfo and listdev in bugreports.html as pointed out by scottmc.
* Some tweaks to the Haiku-doc.css.
* Put a link to http://www.haiku-os.org/community into welcome.html,
  removed the "(online)".
* Reorganized the file hierarchy to accommodate future translations. See thread:
  http://www.freelists.org/post/haiku-doc/Organizing-translations-of-User-GuideWelcome-Package.
* Added a userguide/languages.html that will serve as entry for the different
  translations.
  Since the welcome page is more or less only one page, we'll find another
  solution for that when the first translations are available.

<p>Every application has the ability to open and save every file format for which there's a Translator installed. The settings for these Translators are configured in the DataTranslations preferences.</p>
<p><br /></p>

<p>Depending on its capabilities, each Translator offers different settings. At least you'll get an <i>Info...</i> button that opens a window with the credits and the installation path.<br />
The following table gives an overview of the default Translators and their most useful options.</p>
<table summary="translators" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td><i>BMP Images</i></td><td>24bit, uncompressed, no transparency</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>EXR Images</i></td><td><acronym title="Industrial Light &amp; Magic">ILM</acronym>'s high dynamic-range (HDR) format</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>GIF Images</i></td><td>8bit, lossless compression, transparency<br />
You can reduce the filesize by limiting the number of used colors and the palette.<br />
You can write images with transparency, either by automatically using the alpha channel or by setting the RGB value that will be transparent by hand.</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>JPEG2000 Images</i></td><td>24bit, compressed, no transparency<br />
Here, you normally only care about the output quality.</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>JPEG Images</i></td><td>24bit, compressed, no transparency<br />
Besides the output quality you can also set a smoothing that will lessen compression artefacts but can blur the picture a little.</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>PCX Images</i></td><td>24bit, uncompressed, no transparency, PC Paintbrush Exchange format</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>PNG Images</i></td><td>32bit, lossless compression, transparency</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>PPM Images</i></td><td>24bit, uncompressed, no transparency, Portable PixMap format</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>RAW Images</i></td><td>up to 48bit, uncompressed, no transparency</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>RTF Text Files</i></td><td>Formatted text<td></td></tr>
<tr><td><i>SGI Images</i></td><td>24bit, optional lossless compression, transparency</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>StyledEdit Files</i></td><td>Formatted text</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>TGA Images</i></td><td>32bit, optional lossless compression, transparency</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>TIFF Images</i></td><td>24bit, optional lossless compression, layers, transparency</td></tr>
<tr><td class="onelinetop"><i>WonderBrush Images</i></td><td>32bit, layers, transparency, vector/pixel data</td></tr>
</table>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Note: Screenshots, charts, black&amp;white drawings and other images with few used colors, as well as small pictures are best saved as GIF (up to 256 colors) or PNG (millions of colors). JPEG, for example, introduces compression artefacts without gain in smaller filesize.</p>
