Set | Property (Resolution) Registry entry

Specify extra (perhaps missing) properties in the metadata of a master image in order to generate a resolution with those properties. The properties become part of the resolution's metadata and are not stored in the master image.

Description

Currently the Set|Property Registry entry is used to specify the resolution (DPI/DPCM) and resolution units (None, Inches, Centimetres) when generating a resolution from a master image. When this entry is set, a copy of the metadata of the master image is updated with the properties specified and a resolution is then generated using these modified metadata settings. The modified metadata settings become part of the resolution's metadata and are not stored in the master image.

Usage

This Registry entry can be assigned to users, groups and system-wide:

format

is the image format to which the Registry entry will apply, e.g.:
Default applies to all image formats (if supported).
JPG applies to JPEG generation only.

Any other image format can be used as well, e.g. GIF.

It is also possible to specify a particular size of image to which the Registry entry will apply, e.g.

90:90:JPG

will limit the Registry entry to JPEG images of size 90x90.
setting

is either:

  • Resolution
  • Resolution Unit

value

is either:
x:y

if setting = Resolution.

These are DPI / DPCM based on the units specified in another Set|Property Registry entry specifying Resolution Unit.

unit

the units for the resolution specified in the Resolution Registry entry.

Possible unit values are:

  • 0 - None
  • 1 - Inches (DPI)
  • 2 - Centimetres (DPCM)
