Southern Patriot Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I'm looking for a decent app like this as well. Specifically, I'm looking for one that has the following features: 1. preferably free, but a reasonable shareware price is OK 2. supports a wide variety of image formats 3. allows basic editing, cropping, etc of images 4. allows you to change between images in a folder with arrow keys and/or buttons on the toolbar (similar to the arrows in the editing view in iPhoto), without having to go back to the contact sheet view between images 5. doesn't take up a huge amount of RAM or disk space Basically, I'm looking for the perfect cross between Preview and iPhoto (more powerful than Preview, but without the database features of iPhoto). If you've ever used IrfanView on Windows, that's basically the feature set I'm looking for. I've tried several different programs so far, and haven't found one that isn't either a pain to use or overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Are there any Windows Media Player 9 Codecs for the Mac out there? A while back, Microsoft stated that they would have Windows Media 9 out for OS X soon (I thought they said by the end of October, but I guess that slipped). Haven't seen it yet, but maybe it will show up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interested in knowing how it compares to iTunes. Yep, and I downloaded it the day it came out. Fine for playing the occasional Windows Media file, but no other features to speak of. By the way, notice when my previous comment was posted. It was a few weeks before M$ got around to releasing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine for playing the occasional Windows Media file, but no other features to speak of. By the way, notice when my previous comment was posted. It was a few weeks before M$ got around to releasing it. Looks like I'll be sticking with iTunes, then. BTW, I did notice the date of your post, I was going by the date stated on the download center page - October 20 - a couple of weeks before your post. Typical, can't trust M$ to do anything right, can you? ;) Does anyone know of a good media player that plays Ogg? I'm slowly migrating from a PC, and have a few Ogg tracks. I see Unsainty have Mint Audio, but it looks not to have been updated for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isus Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 what's the best download manager? it'd be nice if it was free and relatively simple... hell, even if it was just a haxie to make safari resume downloads and give some more info, that would be nice. don't suggest another browser though, i want to use safari.

Spykes424 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 yah but how can u resize it? i cant find that in iphoto? such as change a 1000x1000 image to 500x500 so neowin will let me post it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguana Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I thought iPhoto would allow you to resize... I've never used the program myself, but it would make sense for an image program to allow resizing. Looks like you managed to get a screenshot up though. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noir Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 If anyone like me is still using ICQ for IM'ing and don't like the official client I want to recommend Icy Juice. It uses libicq2000 and have most of the ICQ features (such as all away modes) missing in Proteus and Adium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
