What is QuickNailer?
Do you have more images than you can comfortably manage? Or, do you need an easy and flexible way to make image tables or image indexes for your web pages?
QuickNailer gracefully combines an elegant and convenient image thumbnailer and contact-sheet maker with a flexible and complete tool for producing HTML image tables and image indexes with linked pages.
QuickNailer's responsive, uncluttered user interface facilitates: Importing a few or a few thousand digital media files (including Photoshop, JPEG, GIF, QuickTime Movies, etc.) by dragging-and-dropping files, folders, volumes, servers, CD-ROMs, aliases; Media previewing (as variable-size thumbnails displayed with user-selected image information, individual images, slide shows, cell animation, tiled images [optional text or image overlay], all at any magnification level); Searching and ranking keyword relevancy (using file name, comments, folder name); File maintenance (edit file name or comments, put file in trash, launch file using any application, open file's folder). In addition, QuickNailer generates fully functional web sites or HTML image tables. QuickNailer includes an online hyper-linked help system and tutorial. The application is PowerPC accelerated and has been rigorously tested.
