Hi All,
Steeple Software is proud to announce the first commercial release of
PhotoFolio v2.0 in conjunction with Schatztruhe.
PhotoFolio v2.0 is a major step forward from it's predecessor version 1.2
with many new features including:
* ARexx
A fully documented ARexx port for those of you who like to automate tasks
using ARexx scripts. These scripts are made available through pull down
menus and toolbay buttons and can be pre-configured in the settings window.
* Drag 'n' Drop proofs
Dragging and dropping of proofs is now supported (by popular demand!). You
can drag and drop:
- Between browse windows.
- Onto a path in the main window's listtree.
- Onto a Show window.
- Onto the information window.
* Workbench Icon Support
Workbench icons can be dropped:
- Onto a browse window
- Onto the listtree in the main window.
* Toolbays
Both the main and browse windows now have toolbays (optionally, of
course!) making navigating around PhotoFolio v2.0 faster and easier. Those
of you who don't like using context menus.... this is for you!
* CLI support
You can launch PhotoFolio v2.0 from a shell, passing in paths. Each path
passed in will automatically be added to the main window's listtree and
then opened into a browse window.
* Listtree Tree mode
The listtree in the main window can now be operated in the current "flat
mode" or as a proper directory tree structure in "tree mode".
* Native IFF-ILBM loading
Imageio.library has been re-written to support IFF-ILBM. This means there
is a dramatic increase in speed when loading IFF-ILBM files.
* Amiga DOS pattern matching
Selecting proofs has never been easier. Using the in-built Amiga DOS
pattern matching system, proofs can now be selected using wildcards etc.
* Saving of images as JPegs
Images can now be converted to jpegs directly within PhotoFolio v2.0.
* Settings
The setting window has been totally re-designed and re-written making sure
your prefs file is completely compatabile with future versions of
PhotoFolio.
* Unsaved proof indication
For those of you who run without any text description below the proofs,
knowing which proofs are saved and which aren't is a problem. Now, a red
box is (optionally) drawn in the bottom right hand corner of un-saved
proofs.
* Constant size proofs
Proofs can now be displayed at a constant size, making the distribution of
proofs in the browse window even.
There has also been several minor improvements and additions, and many bug
fixes from version 1.2 making it more stable and flexible.
These new options coupled with the the existing features of PhotoFolio make
it a formidable image cataloguing system for both the amateur and
professional user alike. With continuing support, PhotoFolio promises to be
one of the most powerful image cataloguing systems available on the Amiga
platform.
PhotoFolio v2.0 is planned to be released in early to mid February. Price
has yet to be decided, however users who have paid the shareware fee will
receive a discount on the retail price.
