General Option Block Settings

APPEND = ON | OFF

If ON, ImageMan will append the current output image to the output file. This is only valid for formats which support multi-page images (currently TIFF and DCX).

OVERWRITE = ON | OFF | PROMPT

If ON, ImageMan will overwrite an existing file. If it is OFF, ImageMan will return an error code indicating that the file exists. If PROMPT is selected, ImageMan will generate a dialog asking if overwrite is desired. Default is OFF.

PATH = strPath

Specifies the output path for exported images. This path can be altered when using the file dialog.

FILENAME = strFilename

This specifies the name of the export file to be created. If this option exists, it is overridden by the passed filename.

EXTENSION = ext

This specifies the extension of the format to use when writing an image. This is only required when writing a filename with a nonstandard extension i.e. FILENAME.001. The string should be 1-3 characters in length and should not contain a period.

DEFEXT = strDefExt

This specifies the default export extension for the export dialog to use.

LOSSY_QUALITY = (0 - 99)

For image formats which support lossy compression such as JPEG, this option sets the resultant image quality. 0 = worst quality/best compression, 99 = best quality/worst compression. Usually this value defaults to about 75 (depending on the image format).

COMPRESS = ON | OFF

If ON, ImageMan will store the TIF file compressed.
