- If you ever tried the "Clean Up" feature of Workbench and were not
- satisfied with the result, this program might help you.
-
- In my opinion, "Clean Up" has several problems:
-
- * often it changes the order of the icons in a random way instead of
- just aligning them
-
- * it always tries to align icons in vertical columns first
-
- * horizontal aligned icons are aligned at their top edge instead of
- their bottom edge, which gives you non-aligned filenames if the
- icons have different sizes
-
- * you can only clean up all icons in a window at once
-
- * you can not give a starting position for the alignment
-
- IconAlign has none of these problems. It allows you to specify a
- starting icon that remains unchanged and a number of other icons that
- will be aligned according to the starting icon. You can have either
- horizontal or vertical alignment at your choice and optionally equal
- distances between the icons in the other dimension (which will also
- sort the icons in the order you have named them). Horizontal alignment
- is at the bottom edge of the icons (to give you aligned filenames),
- vertical aligment is centered (like "Clean Up").
-
- IconAlign is not as easy to use as "Clean Up", but it will give much
- nicer results.
