Description:
Though PictureFlow can be seen as Resize's big brother, it is being rewritten from scratch. It will work by providing users with two interface set, a serie of "simple interfaces" similar to Resize each providing a specific feature, and a more complex interface allowing the user to create "flows", or lists of tasks to accomplish on pictures in a given orders. Pictures can come from numerous folders and can be exported to other folders at different stages of the "flow". Flows can be automatised, either by using AppleScript (to be confirmed) or by setting up "watched" folders.
Feature list (to be confirmed):
- Importation
- Importation from one or more folders at any time in the flow
- Importation of pictures in sub-folders
- "Watched folders": any picture dropped or modified in one of those folders will be treated automaticaly
- Support any picture format supported by Quicktime (including PDF and
GIF)
- Exportation
- Export to most formats handled by Quicktime (exluding PDF and GIF)
