Quixhibit 3.4

Quixhibit is especially suited for image galleries that require text for images and folders. Optional captions and annotations may be entered for each folder and image (as well as an exhibit title and page footer). Then the integrated spell checker can verify spelling. A user-defined dictionary is also supported.
If any of the source images need to be rotated, Quixhibit can rotate generated exhibit images 90 degrees left or right or 180 degrees. Optionally, the original image can also be rotated.
Exhibit images can be cropped to show just part of an image and drop shadows can be added for a 3D affect.
Various styles can be used to create an exhibit. Thumbnails can be presented in a page of columns and rows or in a page frame as a scrolling navigator bar. Instead of thumbnails, text links can be used.
Changing the background color or using a background image can enhance the appearance of an exhibit. HTML formatting attributes can be applied to arrange the thumbnail and image pages in a wide variety of ways.
An integrated FTP client can transfer an exhibit to a remote web host. The FTP client can store configurations for multiple remote hosts. The transfer filter makes updating remote exhibits much faster.
Other integrated tools are included such as file name re-sequencing, setting file names to lower case, and resetting exhibit text to default font attributes.
For exhibit CDs, Quixhibit will generate auto-run files so that the exhibit will automatically start when inserted into a DD-ROM.
All this along with comprehensive context sensitive help makes Quixhibit a great value.

Major Features:

Quixhibit has all the features you'll need to go from downloading your images to your computer to uploading a finished gallery to your remote web host in just a few short minutes.

1. Style

Exhibits can be presented as a list of text links to images or as thumbnail links to images. Both text and thumbnails can be presented either  in a "contact sheet" of rows and columns or in scrolling navigation bars. Navigation bars can be oriented at the left, top, right or bottom of the page.

2. Slide Show

• Images can be presented in a slide show that can be set with various transition styles with an audio background. The slide show navigation bar can be positioned at the left, top, right or bottom of the image.
• Audio file types include (but not limited to): wav, midi, mp3.

3. Properties

• Properties can be set for each exhibit such as, font, background color or background image, page layout, drop-shadows and many more.

4. Templates

• Templates provide the ability to reuse exhibit styles and properties for new exhibits or load into existing exhibits. Quixhibit is shipped with a few basic templates plus any project can be saved as a template for reuse later.

5. Captions and Annotations

• Captions and annotations are optional. However, with Quixhibit you have the ability to add captions and annotations for each image and folder in your exhibit.
• The Caption and annotation area of the main window can also be floated in a separate window. This provides a larger viewing area in the main window for images and more room for entering annotation text.

6. Spell Checking

• Quixhibit can check the spelling in your text including captions, annotations, title and footer.
• Spell check can be done for a single page or for the entire project at once.

7. Cropping

• Often it's preferable to show only a portion of an image. With Quixhibit's crop feature, a cropped area of the original image can be used to generate the images for the exhibit.

8. Sections

• Image cropping is used to eliminate areas of an image that are unwanted. The reasons for cropping are varied. Usually it's to emphasize the main subject. However, one disadvantage with simple copping is that there may be more than one area of an image that you want to emphasize. With Quixhibit's image sections feature, multiple selected areas of an image can be added to an exhibit as separate images.
• The screen shots below show an exhibit that was generated from only one source image, a photo of flowered wallpaper. Seven cropped sections were added to show details.

9. Rotation

• Often pictures are taken with the camera held at a 90-degree angle, left or right. The images appear sideways unless they are rotated. Quixhibit makes it easy to rotate these images when generating an exhibit.

10. Sorting

• Images can be sorted automatically or arranged manually.
• If set to manual, sorting can be done by dragging thumbnails in the thumbnail view or by dragging the filename in the tree view.
