PhotoAlbum

This is a set of helper tools which allow taking ilf full power of MS word to create photo albums.

Basic functionnalities are:

  • 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

PicturesSorter

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...

Basic functionnalities are:

  • 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.
  • globally: tool tips and tool descriptions
