Managing a library
-
Hi,
I'm looking for a good way to manage my files I use for rendering.
Currently, I make screenshots and print them out so I can work quickly.
But, this system is not so flexible and it costs me a lot of effort.
I tried Adobe bridge, but it can not preview a lot of file types.
The most common file types I use are:
JPG, PNG, PSD, SKP, 3DS, OBJ, HDR, DWG,...
Does anyone have any experience with managing a library?
Or have any suggestions?Thanx,
Roel -
There are threads here regarding file / graphical / thumbnail viewers. Search for them. 'Mystic Thumbs' is maybe the strongest candidate.

Ok.
Thanx for your reply...

Hmm? I've installed Magic thumbs but nothing has changed. What have I done wrong?

Is that for making you win at:
?
Sorry. Is it this that you installed? http://www.magictoolbox.com/magicthumb/ That looks like a thing for adding code to a web page.
-
sorry, of course I've installed MYSTIC Thumbs.
But nothing happens to the thumbnails

You probably have to adjust some options setting for mystic-thumbs to get it to do what's needed ?
-
I see. From here? http://mysticcoder.net/mysticthumbs.html
Did you look through the FAQ page? Since I assume you bought it, you ought to be able to get support from them for it.

I've downloaded it here:
MysticThumbs 1.98 Englisch
MysticThumbs (Letzte Freeware Version) 1.98 Englisch: Die Freeware MysticThumbs zeigt im Windows-Explorer Vorschaubilder zusätzlicher Formate an.
CHIP (www.chip.de)
It's Version 1.98, the last free Version.
It shows tga, for example, but it didn't show skp
-
I see. I don't suppose they'll provide any support for the free version. I wonder if there's a forum somewhere with a number of users of the program.

This http://mysticcoder.net/mysticthumbs.html is proper the author's download site - v2.8.2 is current.
There has a 30 day [?] free-trial [but with 'watermarking']... but then it's only $29 for one commercial license...
I have it and use it.
It's very handy to view what a SKP/SKM looks like in its folder, as well as the icons of all other image formats etc...
Works for me...
Vista 32bit... -
It semms to be, that only the newer version 2.0 supports skp/skm - files, then it's worth the money!

I use Adobe Bridge at the moment. It works fine too.
