More updates

Work has continued on updating MMISoftware programs…

This time it was the turn of JPEGCleaner and quickWebAlbum to be updated.

Again, as with iCalMaker, it was decided that the best thing to do was to move all the code to a ‘fresh’ project. This way I could be sure all the project settings were correct to allow a universal build and I could use some of the new xcode features. Again, the migration was very easy, I created a new project, closed it down, moved in the nib files from the old project, used ‘Add to project’ to move over the code files, help system, toolbar images etc., I then reset the program details, turned on powerpc and intel compiling, and I was done.

Both programs have had the new esellerate sales engine added so they use the new ‘embedded-web’ system. This also meant that new ‘integrated stores’ had to be produced, again fairly straight forward.

JPEGCleaner is an easy to use program that removes unnecessary data (meta-data, resource forks) from jpeg and gif files which results in smaller files that are quicker to send by e-mail and require less storage space. The program can also to send the files directly to your e-mail program (Apple Mail, Eudora, Entourage, PowerMail, and Mailsmith)!

quickWebAlbum is used to rapidly create photograph albums from a folder of JPEG files. The program can create albums that provides a page of thumbnail images linked to larger versions of the pictures, or it can produce albums that automatically changes the images to produce a ‘slideshow’. The user has control over the size and quality of the thumbnail and ‘album’ pictures produced.
