Viewing Fusker Collection Examples

Building a fusker collection would be of no value if you could not then see the images it references. Image Surfer Pro provides several ways to access the images and allows you to choose the way you enjoy the most! As you build your fusker collection you will see various generated webpages to show you what has been added to your fusker collection, but there are also two ways to generate visualization pages for your fusker collection any time you want:

For demonstration purposes let us assume a friend of yours has created a fusker collection referencing 256 images of your favorite female action movie stars and has sent the fusker collection to you. 256 images of actresses such as Megan Fox from the Transformers, Milla Jovovich from Resident Evil and Ultra Violet, Kate Beckinsale from Underworld, Jennifer Garner from Alias and Elektra, and Sarah Michelle Gellar from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Now you want to see the images they collected.

The Female Action Stars fusker collection used in these examples is available for free download if you would like to use it to follow along. Right click the link and choose save as in order to save the fusker collection for use with your installation of Image Surfer Pro.

When Opening A Fusker Collection

The first thing you do is bring up Internet Explorer and from the Image Surfer Pro application window open the new fusker collection file. With our configuration some webpages will be generated when we open the fusker collection. When a fusker collection is opened the top segment in the tree is automatically selected. This top segment is the Fusker Collection segment. According to the configuration, the webpages generated should generate a Guide view of the fusker collection. The number of images on each page is will be limited to no more than 60.
Initial Configuration	View	Internet Explorer Zoom = 20%
Description When we first open the fusker collection a Guide set of webpages is generated such that each pictorial in the fusker collection is represented by the first image in the set. Each image in the guide view links to an Expanded view of the pictorial. In the Image Surfer Pro status bar at the bottom of the Image Surfer Pro application window we see the fusker collection consists of 25 pictorials and 256 images. Thus the initial guide view generated when the file is opened contains 25 images - one for each pictorial. By setting the Internet Explorer zoom to 20% we can see all 25 images on the screen.

Relating Selections to Views

If we fully expand each segment in the fusker collection view we can see the details of the references to each image in the fusker collection. When we use the View Fusker Collection button on the Image Surfer Pro toolbar to view a fusker collection, the type of segment selected in the fusker collection tree view is used to determine what type of webpages are generated.

Description The View Fusker Collection button on the Image Surfer Pro toolbar provides a quick yet flexible interface for viewing your fusker collections. The Visualize option from the Image Surfer Pro tree menu provides a way to specifically choose the type of webpages generated. Both tools provide the same options based upon which level of the tree is selected

Fusker Collection Selection

Screen capture of a portion of the fusker collection and a root directory selection

When a root directory is selected (such as www.vipwallpaper.com) all of the view options are available. Above the root directories the Website option is not available.

For the remainder of the examples we will work with the www.vipwallpaper.com root directory selected. In the fusker collection there is a pictorial for each of our 6 actresses and a total of 126 images which is more than enough to demonstrate the various views and configuration changes.

In this fusker collection there are 6 directory paths below the www.vipwallpaper.com root directory. Each directory path represents a specific actress and contains a fusked image file. For example, the 24 images associated with Kate Beckinsale are in the directory: www.vipwallpaper.com/data/media/108 and are in a single list fusked file.

Website View

Menu Selection or Configuration	Website View of www.vipwallpaper.com Root Directory
Description The Website view of a root directory, general directory, or image sequence will navigate the IE display window to the website represented by the root directory. In this case the IE display window will be sent to http://www.vipwallpaper.com.

Basic View

Menu Selection or Configuration	Basic View of www.vipwallpaper.com Root Directory	Zoom to 40% of the Basic View
Description The Basic View finds the first image in every path through the fusker collection from the current selection and displays them on continuous generated webpages. It will stop when it encounters a directory which contains an image and not search farther down that path. Each image in a Basic View links directly to itself - so when you hover over an image you will see the exact path of the image in the information tip which pops up. In the case of our Female Action Stars fusker collection with the root directory www.vipwallpaper.com selected there are 6 paths to images. The resulting display shows six images - one from each actress.

Expanded View

Menu Selection or Configuration	Expanded View of www.vipwallpaper.com Root Directory	Zoom to 20% of the Expanded View
	Zoom to 20% of Expanded View Page 2	Zoom to 20% of Expanded View Page 3
Description The Expanded View finds every image in the fusker collection down each path from the current selection and places them in continuous generated webpages. As with the Basic View, Each image in a Expanded View links directly to itself - so when you hover over an image to you will see the exact path of the image in the information tip which pops up. All of the images from a directory path will be displayed in the order they are found including fusking image and directory paths before moving down the next path. In the case of our Female Action Stars fusker collection with the root directory www.vipwallpaper.com selected there are 6 paths to images and a total of 126 images referenced below the selection. The resulting Expanded View display will generate three pages (the number of images per page is set to 60 so page one has 60 images, page two has 60 images, and page 3 has 6 images). The first page shows the 22 images of Megan Fox followed by 24 images of Kate Beckinsale and finally 14 of Milia Jovovich. The remaining 7 images of Milia are on the second page along with 24 of Angelina Jolie, 11 of Jennifer Garner, and 18 of Sarah Michelle Gellar. The last page contains the final 6 images of Sarah.

Guided View

Menu Selection or Configuration	Guide Page View of www.vipwallpaper.com Root Directory	Zoom to 20% of the Guide Page View
	Expanded View Angelina Jolie	Zoom to 20% of the Expanded View
Description The Guide View of a fusker collection segment combines the Basic and Expanded views. The top level pages generated look exactly like those generated by a Basic View. They contain the same images in the same order and in the same number on each page. However, each image links to an Expanded View of the pictorial which contains the image and not directly to the image. A pictorial here is defined as the expanded view of the directory segment which contained the image. In the case of our Female Action Stars fusker collection with the root directory www.vipwallpaper.com selected there are 6 paths to images and the Guide page generated will have 6 images (one of each actress). Each of those 6 images links to an Expanded View of that model's images. Such that clicking on the image of Angelina Jolie on the Guide page will take you to the page with all 24 images of Angelina.
