Album Shuffle

2012-08-30T11:21:13Z

I've never seen this valuable feature in an app, only in my old MP3 CD player.

This is certainly not valid code, but it's how I imagine the flow control would work:

@allDirs = recursivelyFindAllDirs;
@dirList = shuffle(@allDirs);
foreach(@dirList) {
if (dirContainsNoImageFiles) {
skip;
} else {
playImagesInOrder;
}
}

Larger Title Font on Photos?

2009-04-22T20:01:17Z

Is it possible to be able to make the title font larger? I'm using the titles to contain cataloging and sorting information, as well as for labels, and making it easier to read when projected on a screen would make it more useful.

Thanks for a terrificly usable program, BTW.

Variable Pause between images

2008-10-10T09:48:04Z

Set the length of a pause between images (effect: blank background between images for the specified time), with 0 (zero) seconds = no pause.

Visible Timer Countdown in Slideshow

2008-10-07T19:04:50Z

I am using the slideshow to do drawing exercises: set the timer to 30 or 60 seconds and then quickly draw from photos of human beings in various poses. A similar exercise can be found at posemaniacs.com, but they use Poser models. Now, to be more useful, I would need a visible countdown clock to show me how much time I have left and not be surprised by the image change.

universal binary!

2007-09-08T09:03:47Z

after all these years jpegdeux is still the best, most performing image viewer. i love to see further development. one request would be to make it universal. the second is more special. while in the presentation mode i would love to have a shortcut to toggle between random and regular order. i would pay for this feature!

best regards,
marc

Autorotate via Exif information

2007-06-25T17:48:40Z

If you use libexif (http://libexif.sourceforge.net/) you can read the exif header information and look for the "Orientation" item. This field will be populated with one of eight values, though only four of which is actually valid for most digital photography (per this URL: http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/exif-orientation.html\).

It would be great to be able to have images automatically rotated to the correct orientation based on the EXIF header information.

Basically the values are: 6-rotate 90 CCW, 3-rotate 180, 8-rotate 270 CCW.

Sample code using would be something like:

// in the main:
#include <exif.h>

// somewhere at the top of main:
exif_init ( malloc, free, realloc );

// where you read the jpeg
exif_data_t* ed;
exif_record_t* er;
ed = exif_parse_file ( argv[--argc] );
er = exif_find_record ( ed, "Orientation" );
switch ( er->rec_data.l )
{
case 8:
myRotation = 270;
break;
case 3:
myRotation = 180;
break;
case 6:
myRotation = 90;
break;
}

Caveat on libexif. I downloaded the tarball release and found that exif.c and exif.h were missing from the release, and I had to manually download those two files from the SourceForge CVS repository.

Use CoreGraphics transitions

2007-06-25T17:40:49Z

Since the cross fade transition doesn't work, maybe you can use the CoreGraphics transition instead.

I've been trying, with limited success, to implement the CoreGraphics transitions. Please refer to the following URL:

http://dev.lipidity.com/feature/tutorial/xcode-transitions-core-graphics-image-2

I have been trying combinations of [myCoveringWindow windowNumber] and [myOtherCoveringWindow windowNumber] as parameters to spec.wid but all it ever does is transition from one image to the same image, and then advance the image, and repeat.

Get a clean compile (no warnings)

2005-06-13T05:01:56Z

The code is currently compiling with several warnings. Look at
solutions for getting rid of the compile warnings.

Update code from Apple

2005-06-13T05:00:45Z

The 'MoreFilesX.c' is a file from Apple. The application is currently
using v1.0 of this file while it looks as though 1.02 has been released
recently. Also, take a look at other code to find out which one's are
from Apple and can be updated as well.

Any chance that any calls to these methods can be replaced by
calls to the Cocoa libraries to avoid having to include them?
