MIDImage

File Menu

The File Menu
New Project
This choice creates a new empty Project.

Open Project
Reload a previously saved Project.

Save Project

Save Project
Brings up the Save Project form, showing where all the files will be saved. Name-changes and new locations can be made on the form. If the Project files already exist, backups will be saved with a .bak extension.

The Project is saved with relative path information if all the files are within the same directory structure. For instance, you could have Projects directory, with Image, Settings, and MIDI subdirectories. With a structure like this, the entire structure can be moved to a new disk drive, retaining the relationships, and the Project can be reloaded with no adjustment for drive-letters.

Add Image to Project
Loads an image into the Project, replacing the current one. The image must be in either bitmap (.bmp), JPEG (.jpg/.jpeg), or GIF (.gif) format.
The Image form will appear, containing the newly loaded image.

Add Settings to Project
Loads previously saved composition settings into the Project, replacing the current settings.

Create Web Page
Creates an HTML page displaying the current composition settings. By default, the file is saved to the Project directory, using the Project name as a base for the filename.
(ex: aliens.lprj -> aliens.htm) A new JPEG file with lmp prepended to the original file name is also saved in the directory, preserving the current image attributes (size, color depth, etc.) A copy of the MIDI file is also saved with the HTML file.

Save MIDI
Saves the newly-created MIDI file to disk. Defaults to using the current Project name as a base.
(ex: aliens.lprj -> aliens.mid). If the file already exists, you will prompted to replace it, and the existing one will be renamed with a .bak extension.

Save Settings
Saves the current composition settings. Defaults to using the current Project name as a base.
(ex: aliens.lprj -> aliens.lmpc) If the file already exists, you will be prompted to replace it, and the existing one will be renamed with a .bak extension.

Load MIDI
Loads a MIDI file for playing. (this option may disappear in future versions)

Print Composition Settings
Prints a plain-text representation of the current composition settings. (this option may disappear in future versions)

Exit
Quits MIDImage. You will be prompted to save the Project, if any changes have been made.
