It has been a busy few days.

JPEGCleaner, quickWebAlbum, websiteCleaner and mailMaker have been updated.

The updates of JPEGCleaner and quickWebAlbum were to correct some ‘blank’ image problems reported by a number of users. The problem was due to slight differences in the meta-data recorded in pictures by different makes of camera, and there was also an issue with certain image resolutions.

mailMaker and websiteCleaner have also been updated. In both cases the update addressed a few minor (rare) bugs

mailMaker (free, fully functional trail version) is a 416 kb download from MMISoftware – download
JPEGCleaner (free, fully functional trail version) is a 256 kb download from MMISoftware – download
quickWebAlbum (free, fully functional trail version) is a 332 kb download from MMISoftware – download
websiteCleaner (free, fully functional trail version) is a 260 kb download from MMISoftware – download

We have received a few (read: two) reports of JPEGCleaner / Web Photos / quickWebAlbum have some problems with images under Mac OS X 10.4.

The problem is that every so often the programs will produce a blank image. At present we are not able to reproduce the problem and even though a number of users have sent pictures that produce these blank images on their machines everything works ok on the machines here…..

If you have encountered the problem please send a copy of the image you used to image_probab@mmisoftware.co.uk. Can you please zip the image before you send it (this is not to make the file smaller (which it won’t) but to prevent loss of any meta-data (which I think may be causing the problem) during mailing).

Finally! One round of updates completed!

At MMISoftware there is a group of programs called the ‘One Trick Ponies‘. These are small (and relatively cheap) programs that do one thing (may be two!) and do it well, However, Tiger (10.4) managed to break some features in all of them!

quickWebAlbum, which is used to quickly creates web albums and slideshows from a folder of jpeg images, and JPEGCleaner, which removes jpeg resources and metadata from jpeg files, both had problems with rotated images due to changes in Tiger (see an earlier post). Both programs now correctly handle jpeg rotation under 10.4 and the image resizing code has been improved to produce better quality images (see an earlier post).

Tunes Menu, which is a menu-based CD search from iTunes, and WebsiteCleaner, which prepares html, jpeg and gif files for use on the web, have also been updated and recompiled for 10.4

All programs are available from MMISoftware in the ‘One trick pony‘ section. The program are shareware, except for Tunes Menu which is freeware, and are free upgrades for registered owners.

<work is continuing on the updates of MMISoftware programs.

iCalMakeris still in beta-testing and should be ready within a week or so.

Work on JPEGCleaner is complete. It has been beta-tested under 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and is now working fine. Whilst testing I encountered a number of ‘interesting’ problems…..

Well, the blog is looking and feeling a little neglected of late. Several reasons for this but the main one is I have been very busy on a number of projects.
