Thumbscrew: It Is Alive
It’s been a long time coming, I know. Thanks so much to everyone who waited patiently. But it’s back, and it’s good. Thumbscrew 1.0b11
It’s Universal now. The problems I ran into with running subprocesses using a bundled Python are gone. I reimplemented the thumbnailer kernel using ObjC with the help of Scott Stevenson. Huge thanks, Scott.
It’s got Growl support. We’ll let you know bit by excruciating bit how Thumbscrew is doing, and when a batch is done.
Web page output is currently suspended while I evaluate the best way to generate output. I’ve used a variety of means in the past, and want something that is approachable by lots of users. Zope PageTemplates are pretty easy, and the syntax for developing new templates is pretty straightforward. XML and XSLT are maybe a little more universal, but I really don’t know.
Take her out for a spin and let me know what you think!
