|                                    PictoDS V2.1                                      |
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

This program should be used with the Nintendo DS program ComicBookDS
(both of them are available at http://cbds.free.fr/)


Launch "pictods.exe" (or pictods.sh) to convert your comic books into .cbds files for
your Nintendo DS.
Those cbds files can be read using the ComicBookDS program.

  
Java is needed to run pictods : http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

                    _______________________________________________

Changes in V2.1 :

* New    : Pictods now runs on Linux and Mac.
* New    : Possibilty to link PictoDS to your prefered PDF to JPG software 
           (new command line available in "Path" dialog box).
* New    : In command lines ("Path" dialog box) it was just possible to specify the
           executable to use. That was annoying if you wanted to add an extra option,
           so now you can use %filename and %outputdirectoryname and enter the exact
           command line you want (see pictods.properties to have an example).
* New    : Possibility to change the software to browse the output directory (command
           line option in 'Path' dialog). Usefull for linux and Mac users or if you
           don't like the default Windows explorer.
* New    : Possibility to use PictoDS through a command line.
           Go to 'lib' directory. Enter java -cp org.pictods.jar org.pictods.Pictods.
           Read the help.

* Change : ComicBookDS.ini file is now only generated when the generate button is
           pressed.
