This program is FREEWARE
OK, what the heck is it?
It's a replacement for the "CreateNails.ifx" ARexx script
that comes with ImageFX
So, what does it do?
Features with a * are not available in the original script
* It can start ImageFX for you automatically
* It allows you to set default Load and Save paths
It will create thumbnails for an entire directory
It can create "remote" thumbnails on your HD for
non-writeable volumes (like CD's)
* It also reads ALL subdirectories from any selected
starting point (meaning you can even create thumbnails
for an entire CD at one time)
(option) it can be set to skip pictures that already
have a thumbnail in the target directory so you
can use it to update directories on your HD after
adding pictures to them, or resume thumbnailing
a volume later if you quit the program in the middle.
* (option) it can create new directories for your
"remote" thumbnails. So, if you are scanning a whole CD,
it won't dump hundreds (maybe thousands) of thumbnails
in the same directory
* (option) it can examine every file found to make sure
it is really an image file before attempting to load it
into ImageFX so you can scan, for example, an entire
AF CD, and it will find and create thumbnails for every
picture found. You can set it to check for specified
file extensions, examine the files internally, or both
* It corrects a bug found in the Thumbnail loader, the
Thumbnail browser, and the NailFile.datatype which can
cause a lock-up or crash with some "remote" thumbnails.
The bug is fixed by altering the header in the nailfile -
your existing programs are NOT messed with...
* BONUS for NewIcon users - I've icluded a set of NewIcons
for ImageFX in the archive
