Thumbnail and Preview Generator with GUI - By: G.E & T.S.G

It's official, the Thumbnail and Preview Generator with GUI is at its first stable beta!

About...
For the last few months Giant Eagle and I have been rather lazily working to create a simple utility for the Thunderchicken of Glory and Terayon users. The current batch files, i felt, were too complex for the users, so I placed the idea that we needed a GUI.

The author of Irfan View has given us permission to release the latest version (v4.00) along with this program, so long as credits are given. These credits are given here and in the about info inside the generator. Without this program the generator would not exist, well not for an extended period of time cause we would have to learn how to code image conversion.

The usage of this program is completely at your own risk. You can't blame us if it formats your computer or corrupts your hard-drive in any way.

Bundled in the archive is the data needed to allow the generated images to be compatible with the Diff Template part of HFS Terayon.

The generator is compatible with Thunderchicken of Glory v2.8 and above, lookout for a new release within the next 2 weeks!

Why do i get the feeling that it will format my hard drive?  ;)

Great work guys I really like the design and layout of the GUI, If my computer hadnt died last week I wouldnt be posting this but instead using it to convert some photos.

Don't worry it shouldn't format your hard drive :P

This is just a first beta, we have other layouts which will accompany our more advanced features, tabbed design etc.

I put a lot of emphasis into making it simple, glad you like it.

Giant Eagle, hurry up and release the version of your template with working thumbnails and previews for the generator dammit!

Try using the codes in the extra text documents that come with the program for the HFS Terayon template.

an 8Kb readme, and i havent included the part to make it work with my own template >_>.

If you want to make it work with Terayon, simply copy the code inside the 'Diff Template - Thumbnails and Previews - Terayon v1.2.1.txt', or something. Then Right click on the folder where you want the thumbs and previews to show up and select 'Diff Template'. Paste the copied code in there and press ok.

All set. :)

Sub Folders? It does all Folders? ... Do you mean do folders WITHIN folders that you select... This could be an option... I'll notify Giant Eagle next time i see him.

yes ill agree... if you were able to select one main folder then it would convert all pics in subfolders automatically.  that would be handy.   oooo and .gifs too!! not like you guys dont have enough to do! lol

Sub folders will happen. As for gif's, i dunno. Maybe, with the new compression method, we don't use irfanview anymore.

No problems,

next build will have a "other template" section that will provide a basic html image linkage and instructions, it will also sport a lot more options, custom sizes etc. But we wont be working on this till the homepage is fully operational its a bit everywhere atm.

Make sure you have .NET Framework 2.0 or higher installed

grab it here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en)

The program could not be initialised properly (0xc0000135). Klick "ok" to close the program.

It's planned for whenever we are going to create a new version. Not sure when that will be.

Why not start on it now?

player mp3 component is working fine now, homepage is operational and looks half decent, templates aren't buggy and just need a few more things in the to-do lists completed... all we have to do is tidy up the rawr - player form... then i think we should start on this...

It's being built atm :D, we lost the sources for the last build so Richard has to write it from scratch. But this version supports it, last test I did it was working with sub folders. The next version is also standalone, no more external programs.

that would be very appreciated! thats the most-needed-thing for me, i have 1000s of folders and subfolders with sometimes only 2 files inside. and running the generator so many times is really a hard work ;-)

so thanks for everyone who is working on anything for hfs!

lol thanks for the enthusiasm but you truly haven't been around for a long time :P

We are working on TPGen 3 atm, it will be standalone. You can expect RAWR-Player to have FLV, TPGen to be standalone with more options than u can poke a stick at, and a re-written Terayon in the next 1-2months. Progress is slow and jumpy lately cause we are still upgrading the homepage and I am back at university.

The original image itself wont get changed, instead, the thumbnails and previews generated from the pictures are stored in the (hidden) previews_and_thumbnails folder. If you add the folder where your image is in as real folder to HFS, it should automatically display small thumbnails if you use one of our templates.

Post by: Fysack on April 13, 2008, 10:15:49 PM
Hi Giant Eagle. Would it be a big job, to make that imageview`r, to have an option to set the size of that preview image (800px X 600px)
If so, this prog would be my favorit resize prog  ;)
Cause in irfanview you have to do it one by one, right?
A batch file could possible do.. it
Other tips?

The current version does not support it.. Altho, i am working on a newer version of the program that does support it and more.Progress is being made slowly cause im very busy lately with living my life. So, dont expect it next week, but i will not abandon this project.

Just thought I would post some screenshots of the progress we have made so far on TPGen.

We are working to get this released within the next few weeks. I have altered a few shots, to give a better perspective on what it will look like when it is complete. There is a couple of options I still would like to add. But at the moment we are focusing on the interface. I know VB isn't the best thing to make software applications in... maybe next time round we can make it in Java or C... or something a little less dependent on a recent runtime environment. But we do not know these languages, (I know basic java but not enough) so 3.0.0 was decided to be built in Visual Basic. This build of TPGen is standalone, it does all the converting under its own steam.

This build will require the latest .NET framework... we did try to make it using .NET 2.0 but it just wasn't flexible enough. .NET 3/3.5 is totally free and you can get it from the Microsoft website.

Follow this link to install .NET 3.5, and be ready for TPGen 3.0.0!

... ::)Can HFS to create previews using Java or HFS?
HFS detects if there is a preview image available and displays it if there is but the Thumbnail and Preview generator creates the preview images.
