QXP IMAGES CATALOG

Do you want to be able to catalog images in Xpress in just a minute or two?
QXP Images Catalog is the solution. It can catalog files in EPSF, TIFF, JPEG, PICT, Scitex CT, PDF and GIF formats using Quark Xpress™, the popular and flexible page layout software.
You will find QXP Images Catalog perfect for cataloguing collections of photos, clipart, or other images for any of your projects.

The new version of QXP Images Catalog offers more flexibility than before:
• When you choose a source folder, QXP images Catalog scans and processes all subfolders. For each folder processed, a separate catalog page is saved in the output folder.
• You may now choose more paper sizes or define up to 10 custom sizes.
• After choosing the page size, you may define the margins (left, right, top, bottom) and split the page into any combination of columns and rows.
• Whenever a value is changed in the settings area, the width and height of each module is recalculated with new values shown in both millimeters and inches.
• You may set the catalog page orientation (portrait or landscape).
• You may include a label under each image, containing the file name of the image, its type and size. When you have finished cataloguing you can create an Acrobat PDF file for electronic distribution.

About Registration
Paying for QXP Images Catalog is fairly simple. There are two methods.
On the Web (quick, easy and secure payment on-line) and by the “Register” application (off-line).

To register on the web:
Go to the web page http://order.kagi.com/?7BY
1 - Choose the product and how many copies you want.
2 - Click on the button “Continue” and the invoice form will appear.
3 - Fill in the fields with your name, email, address, credit card data and then click on the button “Purchase”. That's all.

Don't forget to include your email address. If you haven't got one, send a friend's email address.
We cannot accept orders without an email address because we can only send the “Registration Code” file (which unlocks the shareware limitations) by email.

Kagi will send you the approved invoice in 3 days at maximum (usually in few a hours or minutes).
After that you will receive from us via email a small text file called “Registration Code” to put inside the “QXP Images Catalog” application folder.
This text file will unlock the shareware limitations.
We usually send the “Registration Code” within 24 hours (sometimes even in a few hours), so if you haven't heard anything after 3 days, most likely you have given us an invalid email address.
In that case, please contact us at info@softhing.com providing an alternative email address.

To register off-line by the “Register” application:
You need the “Register” application that accompanies the QXP Images Catalog package.
If the package doesn't include the “Register” application, you can download it from http://www.softhing.com/download/register.sit
1 - Launch the “Register” application, enter your name, email address and the number of single user licenses or other licenses you desire.
2 - Save or copy or print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi (the best way is via email to sales@kagi.com).
Kagi is the company which handles our payment processing.
The fastest way (maximum 3 days, but usually a few hours) is to save the invoice to a text file, choosing “via email”, and send that text file via email, as an attachment, to sales@kagi.com. You can also open the invoice text file with an editor (e.g. SimpleText) select all the text, copy and paste the text to the email message body just as it is (without making any changes).

Don't forget to include your email address.
If you haven't got one, send a friend's email address.

If you are paying with Cash or USD Cheque you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:

Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-7BY
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA

You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via cheque, it must be a cheque drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept cheques in other currencies.

If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts department. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment.
Kagi cannot invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork at your end.

Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed.

Payments sent via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
