Publishing to Web

You can create and publish a personal photo album on the Web, or FTP graphic files of your web site directly from MagicViewer.

  1. Select photos you want to publish by clicking on the thumbnail images. To select more than one photo hold down the Ctrl or Shift key while you click on the thumbnails.
  2. Choose File > Publish to Web, or press this button on the toolbar. This brings up the Publish To Web dialog box.

Choosing the picture size

You can set a limit on the image size by choosing one of the five commonly used image sizes. MagicViewer will resize the image if its size is greater than the specified size. No resizing will take place if you choose Original Size.

Setting the file name option

You can also give the image files more meaningful names by filling in the file name field and specify number of digits to use in the serial number when you are publishing multiple files.

MagicViewer makes all these changes using a temporary copy of the images you have selected. The original images will not be modified in this process.

Filling in server information

You need to fill in the FTP server name or IP address, your account user name and password in order to login and FTP files to the server. Consult the manual or web site of your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or the IT department of your company to obtain these information if needed.

If you choose to Remember Password , the password will be encrypted before being stored on your system to protect your privacy.

You can publish to a sub directory on your FTP server by filling in the Server directory. If the directory does not exist it will be created during the process. If you want to publish to a sub directory multiple levels below the root, use either / or \ to separate directory names.

When selected, the Generate index page option creates an HTML file using the specified name to display thumbnail images of the files you publish. You or your friends and family can click on the thumbnails to view the published images. This is also useful if you are publishing graphics of your web site.
