set gamma&contrast with fw 4.2 (pb622)

[paolog]

here a better crafted script (i think...)

I declared in function the stuffs and now the script starts with the menu



i tested thoroughly without problems

bye paolo



---
new version with minor face corrections (one related to non updated read of current gamma settings)

[paolog]

new version (if we can say of a so simple script)
no substantial change
better layout/content of informations/questions
UTF8 encoded

still limited to gamma modifying even if it provides info on contrast

new version of the script with many changes

-dryed the script (I'm not a programmer...be patient)
-now changes also contrast settings
-put a restore to default (mine one, the better I found up to now are gamma 2.5, contrast min-max 0-100)
-put a very simple help
-now the menu shows settings directly

many many thanks to rkomar's sh_ivtool and jtt(Jens)'s vip programs

hi
until fw 4.4.565 (excluded) there was 6 parameters in global.cfg file that could be tuned:
gamma, mincontrastlevel and maxcontrastlevel
either for Adobe and Djvu
so the previous scripts I posted modified those parameters

The script was for testing best combination of them, provided that up to now only gamma change seems to have effect.

Now (from fw 4.4.565) in global.cfg there is only the gamma level for Adobe. More, you can change it via the PB settings (with step of 0.2, from 0.2 to 2.6)

So the new script allows to change only the gamma for Adobe, albeit on an arbitrary base: no step (you can put how much decimal you like) no sign (it accept also negative numbers that adobe accepts too)

No change in the DJVU part
