What’s Coming Up Next? – MacHouse Introducing Img4Web Version 2 for Mac OS X

Mac software Img4Web

TOKYO (MacHouse) – Every time we introduce a new software title we have to switch to Windows so that we can use the Windows version of Img4Web, which allows us to create thumbnail images, generating HTML code at the same time. We did have a Mac version of Img4Web except that it’s buggy and can crash for an unknown reason. Well, we are tired of switching to Windows just to use Img4Web. So…

Just submitted to Mac App Store is a new Mac version of Img4Web. It’s a Cocoa-built and is developed with Objective-C from a scratch. And this build is quite stable. Seriously, you are back to the Mac platform? Yes, it sounds like we are joking. Seriously, we are back after some 18 months.

Img4Web lets you batch-create thumbnail images out of source files you specify. The purpose of using Img4Web is not just to create thumbnail images. Img4Web will automatically generate web code for displaying thumbnail and source images in a HTML table. The application is designed for those like us who want to spend as little time as possible in writing HTML code. Simply, use a drop box to read one or more source files. Then set an export format, thumbnail name, resize dimensions. Also, configure HTML settings so that Img4Web can generate HTML code. And? Just click on the Export button.   Continue reading →

FontsView Portable Lite is designed such that users can compare different styles of text with a color and a size of your selection. When you have several dozen fonts, it won’t be easy to pick the best choice for a particular text string. So the idea is that you enter a string of text and then select this font and that font so that you can make the best choice visually.   Continue reading →

iOS software iPad Presenta

TOKYO (MacHouse) – It’s been typical of us to release a pair of iPad applications these days. Indeed, we submitted another pair some 18 hours ago. One of them is called Presenta. Presenta is a failed project we abandoned a month ago due to lack of programming knowledge. So we quickly developed and released TextJunk instead. It’s now been complete.

Presenta lets you use your iPad to make a slideshow presentation. You can create as many multi-page presentation projects as the disk space allows. Insert text and picture layers to a given slide. Use your finger to swipe the screen to turn over pages.

Every time you start a project, Presenta creates a file in its sandbox-protected folder assigned to this application. If you have 15 presentation projects, you will have 15 files. You can transfer project files to a desktop computer through iTunes to save disk space. You can always transfer a project file back to Presenta through iTunes.   Continue reading →
