This is a set of helper tools which allow taking ilf full power of MS word to create photo albums.
- create set of documents from directory tree (one document per folder). Use PicturesSorter to select the relevant photos first!
- Automatically create low-resolution picture files to ease editing of document with a large number of pictures (up to ~100 photos per document is fine, with Word 2013/2016 64 bits and 16Gb of RAM)
- easy align, fit images
- Arrange on page with predefined patterns, fix margins and spacing
This is a bare winforms tool intending to visualize and compare two pictures at a time, and easily archive one of them (or both or none). I created that on return from a wonderful vacation of 3 weeks in the National Parks in Utah, bringing back thousands of exciting photographs...
- pick directory
- display 2 pictures (jpg) from that directory
- navigate 1 picture forward or backward (using left / right keys)
- Move either of the pictures to Archive subfolder (using numpad 1 or 2 keys)
#TODO
- done Remove size group (redundant with alignments)
- done Arrange group on the left of the ribbon
- done Hi/Low res: "prepare doc for print" or "restore pictures resolution for print"
- Arrange: make margin spacing subordinate!
- Arrange aligments: disable useless buttons (horiz diagonal when arranged on horiz line, for instance)
- Arrange: need a button for one image centering full page
- Arrange: keep last used button highlighted
- Arrange: discover selected images arrangement and highlight the right button
- globally: doc-to-ribbon feedback ** done Ribbon buttons tagging principle: the tag property, of type ShapeToolRequiredCount, indicates how many shapes should be selected in order for the button to be usable / enabled.
