Short: A powerful picture catalogger. Fixed version. Author: calendin@massilia.univ-mrs.fr Uploader: calendin@massilia.univ-mrs.fr Type: gfx/misc Replaces: gfx/misc/Collector21.lha Sorry, the Collector21.lha archive contains a bugged executable. So here is a fixed version that should stop crashing on machines using locale.library v38.x. Another small bug was fixed, BTW. ========================================================================= 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 (well, I hope so !). 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. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 2273 566 75.0% 12-Nov-96 19:35:46 Collector2.1.info 8066 3018 62.5% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +Collector.cd 13396 5090 62.0% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +Collector.ct 6978 2857 59.0% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +Collector.catalog 59920 29051 51.5% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +Collector 1665 1284 22.8% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +Collector.info 2273 569 74.9% 12-Nov-96 19:35:46 +Docs.info 25646 9499 62.9% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +Collector_English.Guide 5184 798 84.6% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +Collector_English.Guide.info 29658 10883 63.3% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +Collector_Français.Guide 5184 797 84.6% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +Collector_Français.Guide.info 78836 50282 36.2% 12-Nov-96 19:35:46 +Sceneries.Idx 32288 17681 45.2% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +IndexConv 3619 1074 70.3% 12-Nov-96 19:35:46 +IndexConv.info 166 158 4.8% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +16grey.Palette 894 519 41.9% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +256col.Palette 894 894 0.0% 12-Nov-96 19:35:44 +256grey.Palette 1076 456 57.6% 12-Nov-96 19:35:46 Install-Collector 727 373 48.6% 12-Nov-96 19:35:46 Install-English.info 728 377 48.2% 12-Nov-96 19:35:46 Installer-Français.info 89516 41477 53.6% 12-Nov-96 19:35:46 +MPImage.library 45384 29832 34.2% 12-Nov-96 19:35:46 +Reqtools.Library -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 414371 207535 49.9% 19-Nov-96 18:17:52 22 files
