Short: A powerful picture catalogger. Many features !
Author: calendin@massilia.univ-mrs.fr <Frederic Calendini>
Uploader: calendin@massilia.univ-mrs.fr <Frederic Calendini>
Type: gfx/misc
Replaces: gfx/misc/Collector_20.lha
This program allows to create indexes of reduced pictures. It offers many
possibilities and has some features that other programs of this type have
not... And it's totally free !
It has been totally re-written in C (the first version was produced with AMOS
PRO), respecting totally the system. The Dice 3.20 compiler has been used.
Even if you already checked out the first version, I strongly recommend you
to try this one too, since the program has been greatly enhanced (in fact,
there's no comparison)...
If you own a great number of pictures, this program will become a MUST
quickly !
Features :
- Fast (optimised for 68020+ processors).
- Compact.
- Doesn't use MUI, BGUI, Triton, ClassAct or any other GUI interface.
Only system's Gadtools.library, which seems really sufficient (and much more
memory saving)...
- Allows creation of 16 or 256 grayscale, or 256 colors thumbnails, with
high image quality.
- Supports XPK compression.
- Respects totally the AMIGA system.
- Customizable.
- Handles multi-volumes indexes.
- Capability to update indexes very easily (all is automatic)
- Very powerful system of actions associated to each picture format.
- Free !
This program is CREATION-WARE (see doc for details)...
* Changes in version 2.1 :
- Fixed a nasty bug that made Collector crash at runtime on some machines.
Sorry for this, and thanks to the people that reported this bug and allowed
me to release this fixed version so fast !
- Uses special features of the MPImage library v5.1 in greyscale format
(faster, and less memory needed thanks to the library FORCEGREY option). With
this new method and the optimisations done in the new MPImage library
version, Collector creates indexes noticeably faster.
- The index completion is now case insensitive.
- Now Collector tells you if it could not find an action associated to a file
type.
- The IndexConv program was totally rewritten.
