hi experts + gurus

i tried to use the Jave tool to convert graphic to ascii but kept getting 
the error

"load one file and perform settings to use the batch conversion..."

i have opened a JPG file and that is the only file in the directory.

I couldn't reproduce that error, so I'll just go over the steps I use:

1. Open up Jave (I use version 5.0)
2. Click on menu Tools>Image2Ascii Converter (this should open a window with two halves - Source image on the top, and Result: on 
the bottom)
3. Click on the open-folder icon
4. Browse around and find your .jpg file
5. Click the Open button
6. You should see text in the Result: window
7. Click the Insert button
8. Select whether you want to use the image as a watermark or not

There should be text to work with in your document window now.  There are some settings to play around with between steps 6 and 7, 
if you want to get different results from the converter.

Also, check the "Docs" folder in your JavE directory for help files (image2ascii_commandline.html might interest you).
