JIBS The Java Image Browser Sorter

Future Plans


If anything really excites you, drop me a line at gerhardb@users.sourceforge.net  let me know!  Nothing motivates me more than user feedback. Be sure to put JIBS in the subject line so I don't toss the email into the spam can!

To Do

  1. Add play list support.  This will play sounds with each picture.  XML playlist.
  2. Save JPEG EXIF information with the photos.  Sun is planning to add this to Java sometime in the distant future.  Follow developments with bugs 4339386 and 4339463.
  3. Allow EXIF commenting, if a library supporting that can be found.  

Cleanup Items

  1. When using the optimizer, strain will not move the file if a file of the same name already exists in Park.  It may be perferable to give the file a new name, like x_1.jpg.  In the mean time, empty Park between strains.

Changes under consideration

  1. Add fuzzy image duplicate checking.  Possibly use Eikon.
  2. Add database type features possibly with with Apache Derby. This would be used to store thumbnails and accellerate thumbnail views.  Also could be use to have categories of pictures other than the file system. 
  3. Add box to show relative scale of picture to actual display.
  4. Ability to pick background colors.

EXIF libraries to consider adding

  1. ImageroReader - Extracts EXIF info from JPEG and other image files.
  2. ZonaGeek - Might allow modification of EXIF data. (Sebastian Delmont)
  3. Extracting IPTC header information from JPEG images (Christian Tratz)
