Choose the Options... command from the Special menu. The following dialog box will appear:
If this box is checked, GIFConverter will automatically scan images for unused color entries in their color maps when it opens them. GIFConverter then removes unused colors. The calculations required for removing unused colors takes quite some time. Uncheck this box to gain some speed when loading GIF files.
If you check this box, GIFConverter allows other programs to run in the background when the “Juggler” cursor is visible. Unchecking this box may speed up some operations like dithering or reading a file when using MultiFinder.
Under the File Settings menu on the Special menu, there is a submenu with an entry for each file type. Use these menus to call up the dialog boxes for the settings for each individual file type. See the section on Supported File Formats for more information for each individual format.
When saving a file to a format that has settings, GIFConverter will ask you for the settings to use.
Use the Internet Config command on the Special menu to start the Internet Config program. Use this program to set the way your computer interacts with the Internet.
GIFConverter uses the helper settings for “http” to find a web browser to use for previewing graphics, and for displaying help.
For more information, see the Internet Config product page at http://www.stairways.com/ic/ or the official Internet Config page at http://www.quinn.echidna.id.au/Quinn/Config/.
The Set http Helper convenience command on the Special menu will start the Internet Config program and automatically brings up the dialog to set the http helper.
