Image Batcher 0.4: Collective editing of pictures
Gero Birkenfeld has published an update of his package Image Batcher 0.4, called iBatch. The program allows you to manage and rename a lot of photos (screenshots).
Changes since version 0.3:
- iBatch 0.4a (for AmigaOS 4 and AmigaOS 3.x with high screen resolution):
- Templates are now created with the help of a GUI-baed template-editor
- Assign IMB: Is not necassary any longer
- iBatch 0.4b (for AmigaOS 3.x with lower screen resolution):
- The whole GUI was organized with ClickTabs/Registers.
- Templates are now created with the help of a GUI-baed template-editor
- Assign IMB: Is not necassary any longer
Under AmigaOS 4 only iBatch 0.4a works because the operating system does not support ClickTabs if AWNPipe is used.
The new versions will be uploaded to Aminet and OS4Depot soon as well as an English version will follow soon.
