Pictures selector #3
Copyright (C) Pierre Albou 2004, all rights reserved.


This program is used to merge two or three pictures collections into a single one. It is meant for adding selected pictures from two different sources to a destination folder, which may not be intially empty. For example, it might help making a single pictures collection from yours and a friend's after a common trip. 

The program defines three collections displayed as lists of thumbnail pictures. The left hand and right hand side collections reflect the contents of selected files folders, which may be changed several times in the same session. Conversely, the contents of the middle list reflects the unique result of previous merges and deletions and it can be initialized only once (if required). 

All transfer operations are immediately shown in the three lists, but no actual data transfer happens before the program exits. Audio comments (*), if present, are moved around together with their associated pictures. 

* a file of the same name with a .wav extension is considered to be the audio comment of a picture.


Recognized image formats: jpeg, gif, png (depends on your Java toolkit's capabilities).


Requirements, installation and launching

Requirements:	a 1.3 (or later) Java Virtual Machine with 1.4 (or later) APIs packages.

Installation:	just unpack the files in a separate directory.

Launching:

The "java -jar Selector3.jar" or "javaw -jar Selector3.jar" command line, run from the installation directory, should do the job, assuming your path variable points to the java/bin directory. Windows and Solaris users may just double-click the jar file.
