[wxPython-users] Phatch (PHoto bATCH processor) is looking for Windows testers

[Laurent Dufrechou]

Hi stany,
Happy to see you're on a new project!
I've tried quickly under vista, and it worked for me.
Two points that can be imporved :
- there is some flickering when clicking an options of the filters.
(perhaps add a freeze while drawing option line?)
- From a user point of view, it could be interesting to have a short result
status at the end of processing. I had applied a first filter on a lot. And
applying another filter didn't do anything silently. This was because I
didn't check the overwrite option.
Perhaps a short text with processed file/ not processed file because of
readonly etc... can be interesting?

Regards,
Laurent

Objet : [wxPython-users] Phatch (PHoto bATCH processor) is looking for
Windows testers

To the Windows users on this list,
Phatch is as I posted earlier a Photo Batch processor, which you can
download at:
http://photobatch.stani.be > free download (see below)

I have been working the last couple of days purely on bug fixing and
to port the code of Phatch fully to Windows as there were many issues.
This has improved:
- Phatch can now create droplets on Windows (win32 extensions required)
- Installed fonts are retrieved from the Windows registry
- Image file dialogs are now working correctly
- Missing icons are added (including a phatch.ico) and are now
displayed in the windows titlebars
- Image Inspector was missing a panel
- Preview in Image Inspector now displays correctly
- (...)

Besides that Phatch now features for all platforms:
- fonts can be defined with a nice dropdown autocomplete list
- drop down lists with convenient values in all actions
- the action masks now ships with some predefined masks (such as torn edges)
- right click in the actions dialog box to see the source of an action
- View>Droplet nows shows the name of the action box rendered in the logo
- Dutch translation is 100% complete

As such no new features have been added, but the user experience feels
much more polished now.

Please read *carefully* the installation instructions first:
http://photobatch.wikidot.com/install#toc6

(You might need a tool like http://www.7-zip.org for unzipping the
tar.gz archive.)

People who have been using Phatch before should clear their font cache
(if it exists). Simply delete the file:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\.phatch\fonts

I did the Phatch port on a Windows 2000 machine, so I am curious to
hear how Phatch works on Windows XP and Vista. I will fix any bug (as
far as possible) which is reported quickly in the next couple of days.

You can help translating Phatch here:

Thanks in advance,

Stani
