Installation
Copy the files XBorderFilter.java and XBorderFilter.class
to the "plugins" directory of your JAlbum installation.
It can be done by copying the the distribution file into the plugins directory
and unzipping it with the stored paths.
A recompile may grant you advantages of newer java compilers.
This distribution was compiled and tested with Java 1.4.2 for OS/2.
It was tested with JAlbum V5.1
Installation on top of an older version
You can install a newer version of XBorderFilter on top of any older version.
The documentation directory has been renamed to XBFdoc***, where *** denotes
the version of XBorderfilter.
Deinstallation
Delete XBorderFilter.java and XBorderFilter.class from the plugin directory and
remove the directory XBFdoc***.
Usage
As common for filters, add a variable called "filterN" to your "User defined variables"
("Advanced Settings" tab of JAlbum).
Beware: filterN means: replace "N" by the first available number. The prefix
"filter" is case sensitive !
Example: filter1
Then, customize the filter plugin through variables in the "Value field".
Refer to this documentation and JAlbums manuals for further in-depth information
on the parametrization of XBorderFilter.
