Quick Reference

VSLIDE

Create and View Slide Libraries
A slide library is a file containing one or more slides. Slide library files are used
for creating custom image tile menus and for combining several slide files for
convenient file management.
You can create slide libraries from slide files using the SLIDELIB utility. After
you have set up a slide library, you can view slides by specifying the name of
the slide library and the slide.
Do not delete the original slides after creating the slide library. The SLIDELIB
utility cannot update a slide library once it is created. If you want to add or
delete a slide, update the slide list file and remake the library with SLIDELIB.
When you remake the slide library, all the slide files that you intend to include
must be available.
To create a slide library
1 Use a Windows ASCII text editor to create a list of slide files to include
in the library. The file would look similar to this example:
entrance.sld
hall.sld
stairs.sld
study.sld
balcony.sld
2 Name and save the file as a text file with a .txt file extension.
3 Click Start menu (Windows) ➤ All Programs (or Programs) ➤ Accessories
➤ Command Prompt.
4 In the Command Prompt window, at the prompt, enter CD <folder
location of slides> to change folders.
