Author: silva@psi5.com (Andreas 'da Silva' Szabo)

features overview:

This introduces a _new_ standard of file type identification and ripper all in one. It works together with standard interfaces like shell (give arguments in command line), Workbench (set tooltypes), opus, arexx and appicon.

Highly configurable, for example: you can specify file type specific save directories and output filename extensions. Macros for custom processing methods can be defined.

It can invoke external programs, example: send the outputs to Multiview.

Amiga Filterium is based on plugins. Programmers can easily extend the power of this tool by writing more afilter-plugins. If you are interested:

The purpose of this release is to motivate YOU to try this out and maybe join to the development team as author of a plugin, beta tester or other. Its totally actual and maybe there was never something else like this. Lets get this chance! Lets make it top and standard!
