Announcing ThumbsUp! version 1.3d, the only effective, elegant and inexpensive
way to locate and organize your graphic files. You will be amazed by this
sleek, fast, efficient graphics browser, which includes the following
features:
o Fast and accurate thumbnail generation -- by individual file, directory or
entire disk. Disk scanning can be done in the background.
o Support for many image and clip-art formats, both raster and vector,
including:
.BMP Windows or OS/2 bitmaps .ICO Windows Icon files
.DIB,.RLE Compressed bitmaps .JPG JPEG (JFIF) files
.WMF Windows metafiles .TTF TrueType fonts
.GIF CompuServe GIFs .PCX Zsoft PC Paintbrush files
.CDR CorelDRAW! (preview only) .MND Mandelbrot for Windows
.TGA Targa TrueVision(TM)
If you have Microsoft graphics filters (they come with Word for Windows
and Powerpoint), ThumbsUp can use them to handle:
.TIF Tagged Image Format Files .WPG DrawPerfrect graphic
.CGM Computer Graphics Metafiles .PIC Lotus 1-2-3 Pictures
.PCT Macintosh PICT files .HGL HP Graphics Language
.DRW Micrographx Designer/Draw .PLT AutoCAD Plot files
.EPS Encapsulated Postscript .DXF AutoCAD (2-D) files
o Multiple graphic viewing windows with file save (several formats), print,
copy, paste, crop, auto-crop, convert metafiles to bitmaps and more.
o File management capabilites, including drag-and-drop for file organiza-
tion, a color-coded directory tree for quickly locating directories with
graphics, directory creation and file renaming, copying, deleting and
moving.
o Complete or partial catalog printing, with scalable thumbnails, file
captions (if desired), and user layout control.
o User-specifiable editors let you pick the editor of your choice -- by file
type.
o Enhanced solid color metafile viewing with 256-color drivers, which
eliminates that ugly dithering which Windows does by default.
o A built-in Windows Wallpaper hanger for any supported file type, and a
customizable full-screen slide show.
o A toolbar and keyboard shortcuts for common functions.
o Extensive on-line help and customization of all aspects of the program.
ThumbsUp! is distributed as shareware and may be evaluated free of charge
for up to thirty days. If you continue to use ThumbsUp after the thirty days
have elapsed, you must register. The price for an individual license is
US$50. Site and corporate licenses are available. Further information about
licensing and ordering is available in the on-line help file.
