Re: Please test Phatch on Windows (was Re: ANN: Phatch = PHoto bATCH processor and renamer based on PIL)

Stani:

You'll be happy to hear that it appears (after a quick test) to work on Vista, though I blush to admit I actually have a Python running on that platform.

The font selection is much better than in previous versions - although the names aren't quite the full font names it's pretty easy to tell which one will be used.

regards
Steve

I have been working the last couple of days purely on bug fixing and
to port the code of Phatch fully to Windows as there were many issues.
This has improved:
- Phatch can now create droplets on Windows (win32 extensions
required)
- Installed fonts are retrieved from the Windows registry
- Image file dialogs are now working correctly
- Missing icons are added (including a phatch.ico) and are now
displayed in the windows titlebars
- Image Inspector was missing a panel
- Preview in Image Inspector now displays correctly
- (...)

Besides that Phatch now features for all platforms:
- fonts can be defined with a nice dropdown autocomplete list
- drop down lists with convenient values in all actions
- the action masks now ships with some predefined masks (such as torn
edges)
- right click in the actions dialog box to see the source of an action
- View>Droplet nows shows the name of the action box rendered in the
logo
- Dutch translation is 100% complete

As such no new features have been added, but the user experience feels
much more polished now.

Please read *carefully* the installation instructions first:
http://photobatch.wikidot.com/install#toc6

People who have been using Phatch before should clear their font cache
(if it exists). Simply delete the file:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\.phatch\fonts

I did the Phatch port on a Windows 2000 machine, so I am curious to
hear how Phatch works on Windows XP and Vista. I will fix any bug (as
far as possible) which is reported quickly in the next couple of days.

Thanks in advance,

I'm pleased to announce the release ofPhatchwhich is a
powerful batch processor and renamer.Phatchexposes a big part of the
Python Imaging Library through an user friendly GUI. (It is using
python-pyexiv2 to offer more extensive EXIF and IPTC support.)Phatch
is not targeted at manipulating individual pictures (such as with
Gimp), but repeating the same actions on hundreds or thousands of
images.

If you know PIL and have some nice recipes laying around, it is very
easy to write plugins asPhatchgenerates the corresponding GUI
automagically just like in Django. Any existings PIL scripts can be
added very easily. Let me know if you want to contribute or have any
questions.

(the perspective and reflection is produced byPhatchitself)

Phatchhas many features, like:
- EXIF information inspector with thumbnail
- limit jpeg file size when saving
- tons of actions organized by tags (including perspective, round
corners, shadow, reflection, ...)
- console version (Phatchcan now run without a gui on servers)
- batch rename and copy files based on exif metadata
- data stamping (http://photobatch.wikidot.com)
- online documentation wiki (http://photobatch.wikidot.com)

Linux only features:
- desktop or panel droplets on which images or folders can be dropped
(will be ported to Windows & Mac)
- Nautilus and desktop integration (with its own mime type and
nautilus extension)
- manpage with examples

With python-pyexiv2 the following featues are added:
- embedding the original EXIF and IPTC tags in the image

All actions mostly have a separate pil function in their source code,
so they could be read as a recipe book for PIL:
* Auto Contrast - Maximize image contrast
* Background - Put colour under transparent image
* Border - Crop or add border to all sides
* Brightness - Adjust brightness from black to white
* Canvas - Crop the image or enlarge canvas without resizing the image
* Colorize - Colorize grayscale image
* Common - Copies the most common pixel value
* Contrast - Adjust from grey to black & white
* Convert Mode - Convert the color mode of an image (grayscale, RGB,
RGBA or CMYK)
* Copy - Copy image file
* Effect - Blur, Sharpen, Emboss, Smooth, ...
* Equalize - Equalize the image histogram
* Fit - Downsize and crop image with fixed ratio
* Grayscale - Fade all colours to gray
* Invert - Invert the colors of the image (negative)
* Maximum - Copies the maximum pixel value
* Mask - Apply a transparency mask
* Median - Copies the median pixel value
* Minimum - Copies the minimum pixel value
* Offset - Offset by distance and wrap around
* Posterize - Reduce the number of bits of colour channel
* Perspective - Shear 2d or 3d
* Rank - Copies the rank'th pixel value
* Reflect - Drops a reflection
* Rename - Rename image file
* Rotate - Rotate with random angle
* Round - Round or crossed corners with variable radius and corners
* Saturation - Adjust saturation from grayscale to high
* Save - Save an image with variable compression in different types
* Scale - Scale an image with different resample filters.
* Shadow - Drop a blurred shadow under a photo with variable position,
blur and color
* Solarize - Invert all pixel values above threshold
* Text - Write text at a given position
* Transpose - Flip or rotate an image by 90 degrees
* Watermark - Apply a watermark image with variable placement (offset,
scaling, tiling) and opacity

I developPhatchon Ubuntu/Linux, but I have tested and polished it
regularly on Windows and Mac Os X. (Only the droplet functionality
needs to be ported.)Phatchis submitted to Debian unstable and
Ubuntu Hardy. Packagers for other platforms are welcome.

Requirements:
- PIL 1.1.5 or higher
- wxPython 2.6 or higher
- pyexiv2 (optional)
- python nautilus bindings (optional)

Best regards,
Stani
