[This text file ensures that non-images are simply skipped.]

For illustration, the images here are mixed in size and type, 
and most were reduced in size to keep the examples distribution 
small.  Real camera content will normally generate thumbnails of
more uniform size for same-orientation photos (e.g., landscape).

Fill this directory with images of your own to see how 
PyPhoto handles larger pictures, or open ../images-large.

You can also pass an "-InitialFolder <path>" command-line
argument, or set the "InitialFolder=<path>" variable in
PyPhoto's class in the PyGadgets configs file.  If this
is set to None (or ''), PyPhoto prompts for a first folder.

Alternatively, you can open any folder's images by pressing 
"D" on the keyboard in any PyPhoto thumb- or image-view window.
This creates one thumbnail-cache file in the folder on the
first open, which can be freely removed if you don't wish 
to use PyPhoto on that folder again.

The ../images-errors folder demos images with errors, and
../images-saved is images saved with the "W" key, some with
resizing and type conversions.  Open these folders with a 
"D" press, command-line argument, or config setting to view.
 
PyPhoto assumes that the Pillow extension has been installed, 
in order to use non-GIF images in Pythons using any Tk version.
Pillow is also required for PyPhoto's thumbnail processing.
Apps and executables include Pillow automatically; source-code
users may fetch it from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow.

For more on image types supported by tkinter, see the
PyGadget's standalone-release file GUI/gifs/README.txt.
