Vidigi Lite

Current Version: 0.3

Download (from SourceForge)

A simple image viewer which allows the user to open a directory of images (non-recursively), select specific images, and then burn a CD, create an ISO, create a photo directory or generate a text-based photo list of the selected images. This should work on most modern operating systems, but I don't have immediate access to any MacOS, *BSD or Solaris machines so I haven't tested it on those platforms.

Yes, there are myriad other program which perform similar functions. I did not find one that fit all of my needs, so I wrote my own and decided to release it to the public. It is based on the Vidigi program written by Andrew Young.

I have used this program on a proof CD for some photography work (to allow the customer to preview the images and then easily generate an order list of selected photos). I also use this program to sort through my snapshots and burn a quick CD which allows me to efficiently print my photos at Walgreens by selecting the "Print All" button on their kiosk machine :-).

Features

Background image loading/scaling for fast response
Simple image manipulations: color/grayscale, rotate, crop
Textual photo list creation (useful for photography proof CD)
Photo directory creation (might be useful for image aggregation...)
ISO CD image creation
CD (hopefully DVD) burning

What's Missing

but hopefully coming soon...

bug-free libk3bdevice use :-) [for burning device discovery and manipulation]
Key bindings for keyboard image navigation
Thumbnail grid view for faster navigation and selection
DVD Burning (I don't think that this works right now)

cdrecord and mkisofs (download) for CD burning and ISO creation
