Multi-SER Previewer

v 1.1.3 2025/06/01
*** ***

**Introduction**

As the name suggests, this custom-made Delphi Embarcadero application enables the user to poke quickly
into hundreds of SER files to see - with nice resolution - what they have to offer or not (like flares, movements of prominences, etc..)
without having to open them one by one or just looking at individual thumbnails!

It extracts the first frame of all the SER in a folder and then animate them.
NEW: Version 1.1 has, after effective images loading, GIF saving capabilities (from size 100% to 10%)!

Feel free to reach out via email for any questions, issues, or suggestions.

Here is an example of created GIF at 20% size with a short delay in between frames ...

No installation is required!
Simply place the software file in a non-system directory (e.g., `Users\MSERP\...` or `Appexe\MultiSER-Preview\`).

** Manual **

[1] - Start button. Will open a dialog to choose a user folder containing SER files.
Then will start extracting each first frame of the SER files and create a JPG which name will contain minimal infos about the original SER.

[2] - Stop button. Process [1] can be stopped at anytime. Of course you can do what you want with the JPGs in external programs (like Register them, etc...)!

[3] - Load JPGs & Play button. Will start loading the JPGs in order to prepare the animation.
The result is internally separated into Groups according to the different frame sizes during the session.
If the SER files have been processed by MultiSER Previewer in a previous session, then you can start from here directly.
You can also start from here to preview any folder with JPGs.
[4] - Same as above but for PNGs.

[5] - Pause / Resume the display. [6] Stops the display and go back to first frame. When display is in pause, [7] & [8] will do as posted!

[9] - Shows actual JPG number and total JPGs in folder.

[10] - Show the Groups with their particular size. [11] Click at anytime to jump to the next Group.

[12] - Default value 1, animation at maximum speed permitted by the PC power.
Written other values (in ms), will slow down the animation (eg. 1000 -> 1 frame / second)

[13] - Progress bar.

[14] - This Memo will show infos on the JPG & SER being shown.

[15] - If checked will denoise the JPGs at the time they are created. Then animation will not suffer at all from this processing.

NEW in Version 1.1:
Forward and back by 10 frames increment
Save as GIF with scaling (1 ..10) + ESC function (Note: savings at 100% may take about 3 - 5s per frame!)

NEW in Version 1.1.2:
Possibility to add a delay in between frames in the GIF animation
between [0000] [HERE] [GIF Scale: 1 /]
Std value 10 but you can try 1, 5, 20, 30 ...

New in V 1.1.3: In case of a new update available on http://sweiller.free.fr a small red Update panel will light up at start!
