iBatch: Image2Icon user-interface
Gero von Birkenfeld wrote: The Image2Icon-GUI is a frontend for the Image2Icon-Shell-command (Aminet). Image2Icon-GUI can be used as stand-alone programm or as "Plugin" for iBatch 1.2 (Screenshot).
I do not call it image2icon-plugin any longer but "image2icon-capsule". An iBatch-plugin does not require further software. "Capsule" is meant to be an extended GUI-frontend for existing Shell-commands. With Image2Icon-GUI you can create preview icons for any picture directory.
Features
- Saving preview pictures as icons
- Black icon-fringe
- Glow-effect
- "Printing" image solution on the icon
Image2Icon-GUI only can be downloaded from the iBatch website under the title link. Since there are a lot of useful Shell-based graphic commands, further frontends (capsules) for iBatch will follow. iBatch 1.3 - which probably will be published at the end of August - will include the capsule "jhead" (transfering EXIF-data to converted JPG-files).

Survey on OS4-version for Mac-Computer
Markus Bonet wrote: In order to find out if the Amiga community is interested in a port of OS4.x to the Mac-platform, I have started a poll on Micropoll.
This is a private survey and has not any connections to Hyperion. But of course I will make available the results of the poll to Hyperion.
It would be great if many users would take part.
