JPEGCrops - Suggestions

I won't make any significant changes to JPEGCrops. Instead I'm working on its successor, which will (probably) be named RoboCrop. It will be a complete rewrite, in order to make it possible to do things like red-eye removal and image resize. It will also be freeware and the interface will be roughly the same as JPEGCrops.

Feel free to make suggestions for RoboCrop features or report bugs for JPEGCrops. If you want an answer to a specific problem, send me an email at darkwing@daimi.au.dk.

Please take a look at the future page before posting. What you want might be on the wish-list already. You might also want to view the old suggestions.

Need a crop mode, like drawing a selection rectangle, like MS Paint or Windows Explorer does.

Also need long crosshairs that extend to the image edges, to easily see where cropping will begin.

And need a little X button on each image to close ones that won't be cropped.

I haven't found a better easier program on windows than this. Fast loading of images too.

dave: Great suggestions. Besides handling more than 150-200 images at a time, easier crop selection is my #1 wish for JPEGCrops.

Whether or not I ever get around to programming in Delphi again is another question. Sorry.

Can one invert the selection somehow? It would be very handy when dividing an image to two parts, even if not exactly in half.

pg: No, that is not possible and I do not see that happen. It would require an alternative slicing selection mode and that would conflict with the whole "do one thing well"-philosophy of the program.

Too bad. I am scanning old magazines and it would have been great to crop one page first and than just invert the selection and crop the other side as well. Do you know any softwares that can do that?

Hi toke!
I love your program and use it a lot!
I would love that you could implement this:
To be able to select some of the files and apply them a stored selection (for example, recall selection 1 in the first 20 photos, recall selection 2 in photos from 21st to 52nd for example)
Or maybe if you wanna look it from other perspective, to able to "synchronize selection from this photo to the next photos". I would make my selection in photo 1 and "synchronize from this photo to the next photos". Then I would change the selection in photo 21 and the same. Then I would change the selection in photo 52 and so on.
Thanks

Alberto: I am not sure how that could be implemented without making the interface more confusing: Multi select is not straight forward e.g. what happens when you hit "Crop" og a multi-selected image?

I suggest that you divide your workload by activating synchronize and recalling your selection, then crop by hitting enter 20 times before you recall selection 2 and so on. I know this is error prone, sorry.

OK, thanks for your prompt response
