 The formerly commercial picture management software PhotoFiler has been released as a free download for all. PhotoFiler 2.08 is now available with its source code from a website near you after being previously sold by Warm Silence Software. The program latches onto the RISC OS Filer to display little thumbnails of images on the desktop, not unlike the Filer thumb-nailing support in RISC OS Select, Adjust and Six.
The thumbnails are supposed to help punters to quickly pick an image from a directory, rather than having to update an index or go through them individually. The software, which originally cost a tenner, also includes other features such as the ability to hide the exclamation marks from the start of RISC OS applications names.
Announcing the free giveaway, Dave Thomas, the program's author, explained: "PhotoFiler is an extension to the RISC OS Filer which adds an image thumb-nailing facility. With PhotoFiler loaded, the file type icons for sprites, drawfiles, JPEGs and ArtWorks documents are replaced with a miniature version of the picture. PhotoFiler can also integrate with ImageFS to provide thumbnails for all of its supported formats."

A superb piece of software, and one of my favourite things to have installed permanently on my Iyonix. |

Brilliant! Like Richard, my copy is installed permanently and starts at Boot-Up. Though I wonder if it could be made to cope with more formats, e.g. GIF. |

In reply to DrWhich:
Did you not read the last comment in the article above? "PhotoFiler can also integrate with ImageFS to provide thumbnails for all of its supported formats." |

Thank you, Richard; I don't own a copy of ImageFS. |

I used to use !Album, but it's not 32 bitted which is a shame. However, this will do nicely - thanks to Dave Thomas & WSS. |

This is an excellent program, far quicker than Select's thumbnailing and more comprehensive. Good news for everyone! |
