Re: An image catalogue app with VF ???
Hello MAU, Rich and Urban, Maybe someone found something like this? Thanks for any hints... M You may want to try ACDSee 7.0 from M http://www.acdsystems.com/, I belive M it does what you want. ACDSee rocks. Also consider Google's FREE Picassa which may do this as well. Altough I haven't tried it, PixVue http://www.pixvue.com/ seems to be a third alternative for you to try. Thanks for your ideas. But I have tried both, and they don't work that way. ACDSee does not use the IPTC- or EXIF-Informations for automatically creating groups of images (or virtual folders, as the Bat-Pro calls them) but a proprietary database. PixVue also needs the images dragndropped into its galleries, and does not construct galleries by itself based on image criteria. Shortly after writing my first post I found, however, that Picasa works quite well in searching IPTC-Infos. And although it does not let you store searches (like TheBat does *sigh*) it works quite similar: I type some letters, and Picasa shows all images that have that keyword (or combinations thereof) in the blink of an eye. Well, it just makes me realize again how clever the whole VF and store a search as VF and and and... in TheBat are done. Let's not forget that between all the complaining about missing and badly working features: I would wish some of my other progs would work as good as TheBat does!
