With the LOD you control the visibility of a shape depending on its size. That way, you can leave away details of an icon that look good on a bigger icon, but maybe not so much on its smaller version.</p>
<p>This is how it works: A LOD of 1.0 is defined as a 64px icon size. To get the LOD of a particular icon size you simply divide it by 64, e.g. a 16px icon has a LOD of 16/64 = 0.25. A shape won't be visible below its <span class="menu">Min LOD</span> and above its <span class="menu">Max LOD</span>.</p>
<p>So, if you set a shape's <span class="menu">Min LOD</span> to 0.0 and the <span class="menu">Max LOD</span> to 0.5, this means that the shape will only be visible for icon sizes smaller or <i>equal</i> to 32px. If you wanted to exclude the 32px icon size, you'd have to stay below 0.5, say 0.49.</p>
<p>The LOD is not only for leaving out detailing shapes, but also to e.g. change the stroke width at different sizes, if you feel that's needed. Simply duplicate a shape, make your changes and set both of their LOD settings to show either one or the other. Here lies the only source of potential confusion, when you unwittingly overlap LODs of shapes, and wonder why at some size both are visible...<br />

At the beginning of that file, you'll find a legend of a stylized keyboard with the hex value corresponding to each key. Below that are the actual assignments of every value. You can do all the customizing that's also available from the Keymap preference panel, and then some. If you happen to have some special keys on your keyboard, you may be able to activate them. That is, use them as ordinary keys or like an option or control key. You won't be able to, for example, have your multimedia keys de/increase the volume or start some application. For this you can use the <a href="shortcuts.html">Shortcuts</a> preferences.</p>
<p>When you're finished, you'll save the file and have your system load the modified keymap with this command:</p>
<pre class="terminal">keymap -s &lt; MyKeymap</pre>
<p>If you'd like to import this keymap into the Keymap panel, you have to compile it first to a binary format:</p>
<pre class="terminal">keymap -c &lt; MyKeymap</pre>
<p>This will produce a file <span class="cli">keymap.out</span> which you can load into Keymap via its <span class="menu">Open...</span> menu. By the way, the keymap command is able to load this binary format as well: <span class="cli">keymap -l &lt; keymap.out</span></p>

<p>Mit den "Haiku Boot Loader Optionen" kann man zum einen unterschiedliche Haiku-Installationen starten, zum anderen hardware-spezifische Probleme umgehen. Die Boot Loader Optionen sind auch nützlich, wenn etwas installiert wurde, dass das Booten von Haiku verhindert (siehe <a href="#troubleshooting">Fehlersuche</a> weiter unten).</p>
<p>Um zu den Boot Loader Optionen zu gelangen, muss man noch vor Beginn des Boot-Prozesses <span class="key">SHIFT</span> gedrückt halten. Ist ein Bootmanager installiert, kann man das bereits tun, bevor man dort den Haiku-Eintrag auswählt. Ist Haiku das einzige Betriebssystem auf dem Rechner, kann die Taste schon gehalten werden, während noch die Meldungen des BIOS zu sehen sind.</p>

<p>Haiku kennt einige der großen E-Mail-Provider, so dass die notwendigen technischen Einstellungen wie IP-Adresse und Servername bereits automatisch ausgefüllt werden. Wenn das nicht möglich ist, oder die Daten angepasst werden müssen, kann man dazu nach Klicken auf <span class="button">Weiter</span> wie nachfolgend beschrieben vorgehen.</p>

<p>Anschließend werden die benötigten Anmeldeinformationen eingetragen: <i>Benutzername</i> und <i>Passwort</i> - falls nötig muss die <i>Anmeldemethode</i> von der Standardeinstellung <span class="menu">Klartext</span> auf <span class="menu">APOP</span> für die Authentifizierung umgestellt werden.</p>

<p>Bei Verwendung des <i>POP3</i>-Protokolls für eingehende E-Mails kann die Option <span class="menu">E-Mails auf dem Server belassen</span> eingeschaltet werden. So kann auch von einem anderen Computer aus auf die Mails zugegriffen werden.

<p>Sollte stattdessen <i>IMAP</i> als Übertragungsprotokoll verwendet werden, steht nur die Option <span class="menu">Gelöschte E-Mails auch vom Server löschen</span> zur Verfügung. Zusätzlich kann man noch <span class="menu">IMAP-Ordner</span> angeben, um nur von einem bestimmten Postfach und dessen Unterverzeichnissen die E-Mails zu synchronisieren.</p>
<p>Außerdem kann man durch Aktivieren der Option <span class="menu">Nur Kopfzeilen herunterladen bei E-Mails über ... KB</span> bestimmen, dass E-Mails lediglich teilweise (bis zu einer bestimten Größe) heruntergeladen werden. Dadurch werden von Mails, die größer als der eingestellte Wert sind, nur die Kopfzeilen heruntergeladen. So kann man erstmal die Betreffzeile und Absender prüfen, bevor man den Rest der Nachricht plus eventuelle Anhänge runterlädt.

With the LOD you control the visibility of a shape depending on its size. That way, you can leave away details of an icon that look good on a bigger icon, but maybe not so much on its smaller version.</p>
<p>This is how it works: A LOD of 1.0 is defined as a 64px icon size. To get the LOD of a particular icon size you simply divide it by 64, e.g. a 16px icon has a LOD of 16/64 = 0.25. A shape won't be visible below its <span class="menu">Min LOD</span> and above its <span class="menu">Max LOD</span>.</p>
<p>So, if you set a shape's <span class="menu">Min LOD</span> to 0.0 and the <span class="menu">Max LOD</span> to 0.5, this means that the shape will only be visible for icon sizes smaller or <i>equal</i> to 32px. If you wanted to exclude the 32px icon size, you'd have to stay below 0.5, say 0.49.</p>
<p>The LOD is not only for leaving out detailing shapes, but also to e.g. change the stroke width at different sizes, if you feel that's needed. Simply duplicate a shape, make your changes and set both of their LOD settings to show either one or the other. Here lies the only source of potential confusion, when you unwittingly overlap LODs of shapes, and wonder why at some size both are visible...<br />

<p>PoorMan is a nice little webserver that's extremely easy to set up. Naturally it doesn't offer any advanced features like other heavy duty server software, it's after all only a poor man's webserver.</p>
<p>Upon its first launch, PoorMan asks for the folder that is about to be served to the web. If you go with the <span class="button">Default</span>, a new folder <span class="path">/boot/home/public_html</span> is created for you. As a start page a HTML file named by default <span class="cli">index.html</span> has to be present there.</p>
<p>PoorMan presents itself with a simple console that logs its activity. Then, there's status information if the server is running, which folder is being served, and a hit counter. Settings are changed with <span class="menu">Edit | Settings...</span>:

<p>The <span class="menu">Image</span> menu offers the few image manipulations necessary for an image viewer: rotating and flipping the image. Note however, that the actual image data won't be changed. Only an attribute is added to the file so it'll be shown rotated or flipped the next time you open it.</p>

<p>Cropping is another feature that's needed sometimes. To define the frame to cut to, you can switch to <span class="menu">Selection mode</span> from the <span class="menu">Edit</span> menu and drag out a box with your left mouse button. If you don't want to change modes first, you can create this box in "normal mode" by simply holding <span class="key">CTRL</span> while left-click-dragging, which otherwise would just pan the image around.<br />
<span class="menu">Clear selection</span> or <span class="key">ESC</span> will remove the selection box.</p>
<p>The following chapter shows how to actually save the cropped area.</p>
<h2><a href="#"><img src="../../images/up.png" style="border:none;float:right" alt="index" /></a>Saving and converting</h2>
<p>To save or convert an image into any available format, you can invoke the normal <span class="menu">Save as...</span> item from the <span class="menu">File</span> menu, select the format and choose a file name.<br />

Often quicker, especially when the Tracker window with the destination folder is already open, is using drag &amp; drop.</p>
<img src="../images/apps-images/showimage-dnd.jpg" alt="showimage-dnd.jpg" />
<p>This is also how the above mentioned cropping is finalized. Either select a frame as described above, or choose <span class="menu">Edit | Select all</span> for the whole image. Then drag &amp; drop the selection onto the Desktop or any Tracker window to create a new image clipping in the same format of the original image.</p>

Thus, the Keymap preferences are not only for configuring your local keymap, but are also useful when looking for a special symbol used in other languages. For example, you can switch the keymap to "French", find the "ç" and copy it into your mail to François. (Though you'll find the "cedil" also in other keymaps...)</p>

<p>Pressing modifier keys like <span class="key">SHIFT</span>, <span class="key">CONTROL</span> or <span class="key">OPTION</span> changes the displayed keyboard accordingly.</p>
<p>Then there are the keys that are marked with a blue background. These keys are called <i>Dead Keys</i> that can change the key you press after that. If you click on such a blue key with your mouse, those changeable keys light up yellow. Click again and everything's back to normal. Examples are é, ñ, ó or ë.</p>

<p>You can also create an individual mapping by drag &amp; dropping a character from another app onto the key. For example, you could extend your regular keymap with often used currency symbols.

<p>The generated text file can then be opened in a text editor. Make sure to use a fixed font in that editor or you'll never grok that file<br />
At the beginning of that file, you'll find a legend of a stylized keyboard with the hex value corresponding to each key. Below that are the actual assignments of every value. You can do all the customizing that's also available from the Keymap preference panel, and then some. If you happen to have some special keys on your keyboard, you may be able to activate them. That is, use them as ordinary keys or like an option or control key. You won't be able to, for example, have your multimedia keys de/increase the volume or start some application. For this you can use the <a href="shortcuts.html">Shortcuts</a> preferences.</p>
<p>When you're finished, you'll save the file and have your system load the modified keymap with this command:</p>
<pre class="terminal">keymap -s &lt; MyKeymap</pre>
<p>If you'd like to import this keymap into the Keymap panel, you have to compile it first to a binary format:</p>

<p>This will produce a file <span class="cli">keymap.out</span> which you can load into Keymap via its <span class="menu">Open...</span> menu. By the way, the keymap command is able to load this binary format as well: <span class="cli">keymap -l &lt; keymap.out</span></p>

With the LOD you control the visibility of a shape depending on its size. That way, you can leave away details of an icon that look good on a bigger icon, but maybe not so much on its smaller version.</p>
<p>This is how it works: A LOD of 1.0 is defined as a 64px icon size. To get the LOD of a particular icon size you simply divide it by 64, e.g. a 16px icon has a LOD of 16/64 = 0.25. A shape won't be visible below its <span class="menu">Min LOD</span> and above its <span class="menu">Max LOD</span>.</p>
<p>So, if you set a shape's <span class="menu">Min LOD</span> to 0.0 and the <span class="menu">Max LOD</span> to 0.5, this means that the shape will only be visible for icon sizes smaller or <i>equal</i> to 32px. If you wanted to exclude the 32px icon size, you'd have to stay below 0.5, say 0.49.</p>
<p>The LOD is not only for leaving out detailing shapes, but also to e.g. change the stroke width at different sizes, if you feel that's needed. Simply duplicate a shape, make your changes and set both of their LOD settings to show either one or the other. Here lies the only source of potential confusion, when you unwittingly overlap LODs of shapes, and wonder why at some size both are visible...<br />
