As this is a beta product we need all the feedback we can get, so go ahead to us what you think.

Hi swish is very simple to use. Well help a lot of people organise their photos for web/computer presentations.
Are there many themes with the full version off swishpix?
Can I create my own themes? That would be cool.

caughey

when we release the product, we are expecting to have about 15 themes with it.

Yes you can create your own theme. To do this, download Theme Creator at

Hi,

I have been using the SwishPix and SwishPixTC applications and think they are wonderful. As I was attempting to use TC I received an error stating SwishPixTC created an unexpected error. Unfortunately, an error log was not created as mentioned in the error dialogue box.

Basically, I had clicked on some text in the theme, then was clicking on the Wizard tabs at the bottom when the error occurred.

I hope this helps.

Also, to create new themes, do I have to creat my own .swi files as well?

Hi,

Can you please tell me how to reproduce the crash problem?

To create your own theme, you can copy button, background, foreground, clip from existing theme (browse Program Files/SWiSHPixTC/Gallery/Theme folder). Or you can make your own using SWiSH 2.0

I like it. Simple to use, works every time. Nice simple way to translate images into Flash.

I would like to be able to publish full size photos without any theme borders.

It would be nice if I could use my microphone to record brief comments about photos etc

In the next build, we will provide you with a few themes with large photo are and no theme elements.

just stay tuned.

great idea! we'll consider adding this feature.

Hi, I'm 'Sapphire Design' over at the Flashkit forums

As a Swish user since V 1.5 who has just upgraded to Swishmax, I was quite disappointed with Swishpix. I installed the trial and kept it for abour 20 minures before uninstalling.

I agree about full sized images....personally I want my images to retain full quality.

The main thing you need to work on IMHO is those templates...they are clipartish, amaturish looking..almost childlike in nature. They certainly would not work for anyone wanting a clean, professional means of display.

Maybe some better templates, and the option of using just a color? And really you should give the option of using the imported images as they are.

I suppose this program could be useful to those who don't want to create a gallery or slideshow manually in Swish, I just think those templates really need to go.

So far great. as a professional artist this will make life easy in two ways -

first, currently I build flash slide shows and image galleries from scratch. and have the need to up date images often. The batch type processing here is a great help.

second, having my images in a swf file allows me to have more ocntrol over who is using them.

A few notes on the beta.

What i need is the ability to make a simple (non theme) gallery or slide show. Solid color back ground - with navigation buttons that are simple but stand out. Right now for example if i make a all black theme - only some of the navigation buttons show (unless there is someplace i missed to edit their colors).

For example i would use the above as popups from a swish written website. (you can see an rough example under "gallery one" at http://www.orsillo.com

From what i have read - i assume you are adding more themes, a good thing, but more control over the image layout would be great.

high quality images is a must.

How about a built in "loading" indicator. ;-)

voice over would be a nice plus.

"Autorun" for cd and dvd slide shows.

Really you folks are on the right track with this. The beta seems stable. No problems on my system.

All i can say is Are you done yet? I can't wait.

Bob, you can create your own autorun.

This from a slideshow I did in Swish and converted to a projector (.exe file)

Just create a file in a text editor and name it autorun.inf

[autorun]
OPEN=BIKERIDEGREEN.EXE
ICON=BIKERIDEGREEN.EXE,0

Put this file on your CD and it will autorun when someone pops it into the CD drive.

in the next build (should be available within 1 or 2 days), we provide 7 new themes that has large photo area and no theme element. this is basically what you want. if you want something specific, you can create it yourself using SWiSHpixTC.

you can set the image quality at the Publish tab. Drag the quality slider at Publish option group.

This is in my todo list

we're adding this one into a wishlist as it will take some time to implement this one.

CD burning capability will be available as soon as the library is fully tested. But sorry, no DVD
You can burn the published EXE into DVD using your own DVD burner software.

Just installed 10.20 wonderful everything i asked for is there! The simple themes most usful to me. The quality of the images is fine. The only thing i can think of is a "pause" or "stop" button placed inbetween the forward and back buttons.


Beening using between 10 and 90 images no one problem - this going to be one dam handy tool.

Is it ready yet ;-)

Thanks

This is in my todo list just stay tuned!

BTW, your request for preloader is implemented already. wait for the next build.

Very soon

In Themecreator, I cannot get the simple theme to open. Everytime I click on it, I get 'The program has performed an illegal operation & will be shut down.' Here's the error code:

Also when I downloaded SwishPix, it wouldn't completely install the program because it kept saying the simpleblue.swm file was missing. I figured out if I clicked ignore, at least the program would install. Then it gave me the error "The dynamic link library gdiplus.dll could not be found in specified path."

fixed! will be available in the next build.

re: your installation problem, we'll investigate this.
