demCollector

Introduction

Alpha Software so please do send feedback. This appication is feature rich but not entirely done and requires more testing before release.

demCollector is a media collection and management suite of applications that allows you to 'collect' images and other media together into a file, report on if they are the originals, check and collate images into sections for organization and more. It's fully compatible with 'Viewer' so you can view .iCollect files there.

Once upon a time there was image collection sharing on the news groups. Now I won't go into detail as to what most where, but I missed the functionality and ethos of sharing libraries and collections of images. Back in the day this was entirely managed using ".csv" files. demCollector isn't so different but it's for the modern era and now you can share entire archives of images it's got a way of doing that and still being able to check the Hashes of the files while still managing to store VERY much more information on the images in a collection than the old CSV's. If you decide to share your collection you can generate a ZIPPED archive file specially formulated to then be extracted the other end with all files and the collection file intact. Like the old CSV managers there are reports for missing and incorrect statistic images, like hash, width, height and size. Or with a more modern slant there are charts, and tabular reports on a host of information on the collection. If you don't want to share, this is a great way of keeping a collection of your images safe and secure, check they don't get corrupted and back them up to an archive file. You can individually tag files with quite a lot of Meta data and 'tags'. View the entire collection in a browser window and generate list files.

There's actually a lot you can do and more being implemented quite often.

If you want a nice way to view your images, you can use the CollectWallpaper module to use a collection as a slide show wallpaper changer. There's a variety of ways to display your images, randomly, by section or just the tagged favorites.

So you see for media collection managment, this is THE suite for it.
