No worries Leon. I'll have a look at Breeze Browser as well. I like the database capabilities of Thumbsplus though. I have been looking at using Exhibit Engine 1.5, however I can't get the damn thing to work. I can everything installed, but when it comes time to upload images using the built in or external FTP, I can't. Damned if I can figure it out. The guy who wrote it (Pekka Saarinen) hasn't got an email address that works as far as I can tell.
For those who don't know, Exhibit Engine is a MySQL photo gallery database that houses and serves images just like Photosig etc, only for your own images. A good site using this software is Steve Hoffman's (www.sphoto.com). I like it...if only I could figure out what hell I am doing wrong? Anyone good with PHP/MySQL?

It will do what they claim you can view thumbnails of your.PEF files and do all the databasing and so on. Where it falls down is that it doesn't correctly display the PEF files when you view them. The thumbnails are done from the embedded Jpeg, but when you view it (or try to edit it) the colours are wrong because it doesn't process any of the image information stored in the PEF file. The Camera RAW plugin is still in it's beta versions so may improve. I have also spoken to the people at ACDSee who have told me that they may include PEF file support in the next version, but they weren't sure. I've looked at version 2.9 of Breeze Browser http://www.breezesys.com/index.htm This appears to use the embedded Jpeg for thumbnails and viewing and comes closer than Thumbplus to getting the colours right when internally editing. I am happy with this for my purposes as I can have Breeze Browser throw to Photoshop CS for editing. Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
