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
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 !
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.
- 68000 CPU and ECS modes supported.
- 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.
- Can also rename/move/delete pictures on disk.
- Very flexible thanks to the use of datatypes (you can even catalog your
fonts with the font.datatype, for example !)
This program is CREATION-WARE (see doc for details)...
* changes from version 2.1 :
- Fixed a bug in the recursive addition of thumbnails.
- Now you can choose the way of displaying the thumbnails (horizontally or
vertically).
- You can now run several copies of Collector at the same time.
- When you change thumbnails directories, you now choose the new directories
via a reqtools requester.
- You can now provide an index name as a CLI argument when running Collector.
You can also save an icon with an index, so by double-clicking later on this
icon, you can automatically launch Collector and load the index.
- You can now use an autoscrolling screen, by checking the AutoScroll mark in
the screen mode requester.
- Now you can rename / delete / move pictures also on the disk.
- Now the 16 greyscales display should also work on ECS machines (a 68000
version is also provided in the archive).
- New "Complete automatically" function.
- New "Tight display" option
- Some useful informations are now displayed in the screen title bar.
- Improved "Update Index" function.
- You can now choose almost any size for your thumbnails
- You can now make the thumbnails fit totally the frames.
- The text under the thumbnails can now be displayed in bold/italic/underlined
- Many other internal improvements.
Have fun ! :-)
