That's a trivial exercise, I did something like that with Valentina while I was evaluating it, auto creation of thumbnails and so on.Here's what Macintouch calls "an interesting excuse for cancelling Mac software development" from Cerious Software:It has been more difficult that you could ever know to port ThumbsPlus to the Macintosh. Unlike Windows, applications cause many problems on the Mac side. For example Quicktime installations totally crash ThumbsPlus so that the application doesn't even launch. Also, the cross compiler applications don't work any longer with new Mac versions. Any new software install has the ability to take Thumbs to its knees. Sorry we don't have better news. We expect to be taking down all Mac info from the pages in the next few weeks. <http://www.cerious.com/faq_pcq.shtml#PCQ_mac> If they were using Rev or MC they'd still be shipping on Mac, and their Windows effort would cost only a fraction to maintain and enhance. This got me thinking: Do any of you have a Rev- or MC-based image database program?
The complain that "...the cross compiler applications don't work any longer with new Mac versions", I think tells the whole story.
I was tempted to throw one together and send it off to Ric Ford at Macintouch, but I have my hands full at the moment. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.1: Publish any database on any site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
